Looking for any information, photos, newspaper articles, etc. concerning John Stephen McCabe. He was born in Liverpool in 1838 and was a Master Stevedore. He was also my great grandfather. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Marie

Welcome Marie :D :D :D
your research will already know he lived in church street bootle
then moved to formby
i have looked in the liverpool mercury for any John Mc cabe and any relivent of him in church street
or being a porter steverdore
usualy if he had his own buisness the census would say he employed men
looks like he done well moving to formby
if you have info the genies might be able to help

Welcome aboard Marie. I've just decided not to renew Ancestry, so expensive. In Free BMD there are 2 John Stephen's which may be his grandees? Both born West Derby 1882 & 1899. I will look in my directories, good luck. T.S :D

I looked on GRO and there is only one , but no middle name may have been added later . Mother's maiden name also McCabe. Born in July to September 1838 Liverpool Vol 20 page 333. Will look for more. Hope this is of use.

Michael and Catherine McCabe aged 30 and 38 born Ireland
John aged 13 born Liverpool
Peter 10
Thomas 8
James 6
Bridget 3
Hugh 11 mnths
Rosie niece 15 b Ireland
Lived in Scotland Rd. I would suggest they were baptised at St Anthony's

If this is the correct family. Born 30 April, Baptised 20 May 1838. It is possible they did not register the birth till later because it was a new invention :D and not every body did it.

If you would like any further info please tell me if it is the correct family. Lynne
