Phd Research Project Was Funded by a Bursary from the University Of AN EXAMINATION OF THE CHANGING EXPERIENCE OF IRISH FEMALE MIGRANTS IN LIVERPOOL, FROM THE GREAT FAMINE TO POST-WORLD WAR TWO RE-DEVELOPMENT Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Pamela Taylor October 2014 -1- Acknowledgements This PhD research project was funded by a bursary from the University of Liverpool, for which I am most thankful. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to my supervisor, Diane Urquhart, for her patient guidance and encouragement throughout the research process and preparation of this thesis. The staff of the Archives and Special Collections Department of the Sydney Jones Library, The National Archives in London and the Liverpool Record Office were most courteous and helpful, and I gratefully acknowledge their assistance. Similarly, the photocopying of documents by those at the Irish National Archives and Trinity College, Dublin was much appreciated. I offer my sincere thanks to the women who shared their stories with me, and hope that I have done them justice. And finally, like many researchers, I am grateful to my family and friends who provided understanding and support throughout this project. -2- Table of Contents List of Illustrations 5 List of Tables 7 Introduction 9 Part One ‘Overrun By A Pauper Horde’: Poverty, Hunger and Flight, 47 1830s-60s 1.1 ‘The Play of the Prince of Denmark Leaving Out the Part of Hamlet’: A Solution to Irish Poverty? 52 1.2 Migratory Patterns: ‘Overrun by a Pauper Hoard’ 61 1.3 Trends in Female Employment: Irish Women in the British Workplace 78 1.4 Charitable Effort and Mutual Self-Help: ‘They Assist One Another A Good Deal’ 103 1.5 Poor Law Provision - Liverpool as an Exceptional Case 111 Part Two The Dawn of A New Age?: Liverpool’s Divergence from 123 the National Norm, 1870s-1910s 2.1 Migratory Patterns: Late Nineteenth and early Twentieth-Century Irish Migration to Britain 127 2.2 Trends in Female Employment: ‘A Ready Pair of Hands’ 133 2.3 Charitable Effort and Mutual Self-Help: Sisterly Solidarity 165 -3- 2.4 Poor Law Provision: The ‘Stigma of Pauperism’ 212 Part Three The Depression, The War Effort and Post-War 219 Redevelopment, 1930s-50s 3.1 Migratory Patterns I: Interwar and World War Two 222 3.2 Trends in Female Employment I: Interwar and World War II 262 3.3 Migratory Patterns II: Post-War Ireland and the Emigration Problem 284 3.4 Trends in Female Employment II: Liverpool’s Post-War Redevelopment 322 3.5 Post-Poor Law and the Challenge to Mutual Self-Help 331 Conclusion 347 Appendix 358 Bibliography 369 -4- List of Illustrations 1. ‘The Irish Frankenstein’, Punch, 4 November 1843. 58 http://punchproject.blogspot.co/2009/11/july-dec-1843-irishfrankenstein.html 2.

It also aims to contribute towards a more comparative study of Irish migrant women in port cities, such as Boston, New York, London and Sydney. From the outset is was clear that research in this field might prove problematic since working-class migrant women left very few records of their lives, especially during the nineteenth century. The causes of this gap in the records are several, not least being that the pressures of family, along with work within and outside the home, meant that women had very little time for committing their thoughts and experiences to paper. Even if they found the time and inclination, literacy levels might have limited their ability.1 Furthermore, when faced with the daily struggle to put bread in the mouths of their children, paper and ink must have represented a dispensable luxury. Liverpool represented an appropriate focus for this study due to its long tradition as a key receiver of Ireland’s migrants. By the first quarter of the nineteenth century Liverpool was already established as the primary point of entry into Britain and gateway to the rest of the world. The introduction of a steamship service between Dublin and Liverpool in 1819 was the first of many from other Irish ports, ensuring that Merseyside experienced 1 In 1831 the National Irish education system was introduced. In 1901 95 per cent of Irish females and 93 per cent of Irish males had basic literacy. -9- the full impact of mass migration from Ireland in the years that followed.2 Some arrived intent on making the most of the opportunities presented by a port massively reliant upon casual unskilled male labour and where little experience of industrialised processes was necessary. Some were temporary visitors, en route to the manufacturing towns of Lancashire, the industrial centres of the midlands, or London, whilst others set their sights further afield aiming to explore the possibilities offered by the United States, British North America (Canada) or Australia. And there were those whose plans were never realised; who came thus far and found, for any number of reasons, they could go no further. But whatever the rationale for their arrival in Liverpool, the impact of their presence coloured local and national attitudes towards Irish people - attitudes which frequently erupted in expressions of resentment and hostility. The period of this study spans the mid-nineteenth century to mid-twentieth century and was chosen because it encompassed several major surges in the flow of Irish migration to Britain, including those arising from the Great Famine of 1845-51 and its aftermath, the economic depression of the 1930s, the First and Second World Wars, and the 1950s which saw the last sustained Irish migration of the twentieth century.3 This period also encompasses the rise and decline of the British Empire and with it the fortunes of the port of Liverpool, bringing enormous social and economic changes which were to impact 2 Patrick Fitzgerald and Brian Lambkin, Migration in Irish History, 1607-2007 (Basingstoke and New York, 2008), p.

    St Peter’s Church, Formby Review of the Ten Commonwealth War Graves in the Graveyard Prepared to mark the VE Day Celebrations 08-10 May 2020 Introduction This review has been prepared to commemorate the ten graves in the graveyard that meet the published criteria of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) which honours the 1.7 million men and women who died in the armed forces of the British Empire during the First and Second World Wars, and ensures they will never be forgotten. The CWGC work began with building, and now maintaining, cemeteries and memorials at 23,000 locations in more than 150 countries and territories and managing the official casualty database archives for their member nations. The CWGC core principles, articulated in their Royal Charter in 1917, are as relevant now as they were over a hundred years ago: • Each of the Commonwealth dead should be commemorated by name on a headstone or memorial • Headstones and memorials should be permanent • Headstones should be uniform • There should be equality of treatment for the war dead irrespective of rank or religion. CWGC are responsible for the commemoration of: • Personnel who died between 04 August 1914 and 31 August 1921; and between 03 September 1939 and 31 December 1947 whilst serving in a Commonwealth military force or specified auxiliary organisation. • Personnel who died between 04 August 1914 and 31 August 1921; and between 03 September 1939 and 31 December 1947 after they were discharged from a Commonwealth military force, if their death was caused by their wartime service. • Commonwealth civilians who died between 03 September 1939 and 31 December 1947 as a consequence of enemy action, Allied weapons of war or whilst in an enemy prison camp.

  • Irish Narratives: Liverpool in the 1930S
    Irish narratives: Liverpool in the 1930s John Davies By the 1930s there had been a substantial Irish community in Liverpool for over a hundred years. Irish immigration into Liverpool grew steadily from the 1 790s and expanded rapidly with the onset of famine in Ireland in the 1840s. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, years of economic depression, there was a renewed wave of Irish migration to Britain in general, and to Liverpool in particular, as migration into the United States was choked off. Relations between the Irish community, largely Catholic and poor and unskilled, and the majority community had been notoriously difficult in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the history of the city was scarred by incidents of sectarian violence.1 The increase in migration in the 1930s was accompanied by growing tension between the majority and the Irish community. This article seeks to explore how the majority community in Liverpool viewed the Irish, how these views were articulated and what ‘stories’ were commonly told about the Irish. In recent years sociologists and cultural historians, referring to such ‘stories’ as ‘discourses’ and ‘narratives’, have seen them as ‘providing models of social experi­ ence’ as well as attempts to shape and control opinions.2 1 F.

  • Migrants and the Media in Nineteenth-Century Liverpool Colin
    Migrants and the media in nineteenth-century Liverpool Colin G Pooley Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, Lancaster, LA1 4YQ [email protected] 1 Abstract Migration is a controversial topic in twenty-first century Britain, and similar debates were equally visible in the nineteenth century with ample evidence that migrants from Ireland and Europe faced stigmatization and discrimination in British cities. Today the media plays a major role in fuelling such debates, but little is known about the impact of newspaper reporting on public perceptions of migrants in the past. This paper focuses on the reporting of cases brought before the police courts in Liverpool in 1851, 1871 and 1891 and, through the use of nominal record linkage to census data, examines the extent and manner in which migrant origin was commented on in one major Liverpool newspaper. It is demonstrated that, perhaps surprisingly, this media outlet largely ignored migrant origin in its reporting, and thus was not a significant factor in shaping public perceptions of migrants in the city. Autobiographical note Colin G Pooley is Emeritus Professor of Social and Historical Geography at Lancaster University. His research focuses on societal change in Britain and continental Europe since the eighteenth century, with a specific emphasis on migration and mobility. He has published widely including Pooley C and Turnbull J (1998) Migration and mobility in Britain since the 18th century (London, UCL Press). 2 Migrants and the media in nineteenth-century Liverpool 1. Introduction: the context Migration, and the impact of immigrants on economy, society and culture, is a topic that twenty-first century global media frequently highlight.

  • Arthur Atkinson
    Arthur Atkinson Arthur Atkinson was born on April 5,1906 at 12 Alfred Street, Castleford, just off Wheldon Road, where the now demolished Nestle's factory used to be. The 1911 Census however shows the family residing in Radcliffe, Lancashire and Arthur, then aged 5, at school there. Fortunately for Castleford fans however Arthur, at least, returned to Castleford. Legend has it that Arthur was behind the posts one day at Castleford's old ground at Sandy Desert, Lock Lane, when he fielded the ball and with expert ease punted or drop-kicked it back into the field of play and that a certain Mr Walter Smith saw a potential star in the making. Arthur signed for the club in 1926 as they made their introduction into the Rugby Football League and made his debut for the first team in their fifth match, away at Rochdale, on Saturday 11 September, 1926 when they lost 33-5. Arthur quickly made his mark in the side and scored his first try against Halifax the following month although Cas were destined to finish bottom of the league in their first season. Displaying strong qualities of leadership at an early age, he was appointed captain in the 1928-29 season, a role he retained until his retirement in 1942. His form that season alerted selectors to his abilities and he made his debut for Yorkshire, becoming the first Castleford player to gain such an honour, in the game against Glamorgan and Monmouth at Cardiff, going on to earn 14 caps for his county and became Castleford's first full international in that same season, eventually playing six times for England and ten times for Great Britain, including two tours to Australasia, for whom he scored five tries, and there were clear signs of what was to come as the team reached the semi final of the Challenge Cup, the first year that the final was to be played at Wembley.

    FOUNDED ON COAL A HISTORY OF A COAL MINING COMMUNITY: THE PARISH OF ST. MATTHEW HIGHFIELD AND WINSTANLEY by RAY WINSTANLEY and DEREK WINSTANLEY with a foreword bv Rev. W. Bynon Copyright R. & D. Winstanley, 1981 Published by R. Winstanley, 22 Beech Walk, Winstanley. Printed by the Supplies Section of the Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (Administration Department) FOREWORD When walking or driving along Pemberton Road and Billinge Road, you are aware of the new housing estates and the rush of traffic. It is not difficult to imagine that the Parish of Highfield is one of the new suburbs created to absorb the workers of Lancashire and Merseyside. The truth is very different as you will discover in the pages of this book. The history of this area can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086 A. D. and by far the most historic building is Winstanley Hall. As a legal parish we can only go back to 1910, but as a church we go back to 1867 when the Pemberton Colliery Church School was built. The name of Pemberton Colliery gives us a clue to the origin of a church on this site. The link between the Blundell family and the Church has given to this parish the schools, the cricket Field, the graveyard and the vicarage. The present church, completed in 1894, was the gift of Col. Blundell in memory of his wife, Lady Blundell. The Blundell family were generous benefactors to the parish. Although the physical area referred to in this book is that of the parish of St Matthew, this is the history not just of a church, but of a whole community.
