  • St Faith`S Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000
    1 St Faith`s Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000 There are two volumes covering the church`s first century, volume 1 covering the period 1901 to 1958 and volume 2 the period 1959 to 2000; volume 2 is not yet full. The registers have entries for a particular confirmation event detailing the names, ages and addresses of those being confirmed (the addresses are not always included for the most recent confirmation candidates). The location of the confirmation service, its date and the Bishop confirming the candidates are given. A number of early male candidates for confirmation came from Merchant Taylors` School which then took boarding pupils. The first volume, for some individuals, mentions when they moved from the district, joined the forces or joined the merchant navy. During the first decade some adults were confirmed privately at the Bishop`s Palace in Liverpool. Services for adults were often held during the latter part of the year and the main confirmation service during March or April. Candidates before WWII would often travel some distance for a confirmation service, in some cases as far as Wigan, Warrington and Rock Ferry. Although most confirmations were conducted by the Bishop of Liverpool or the Bishop of Warrington there have been times when other bishops have conducted the confirmations. Most notable was Lord Runcie of Cuddesdon but in March 1945 the Bishop of the Argentine presided. An interesting feature of the period up to about 1930 is the number of parents who were confirmed shortly before their children were confirmed. In these transcripts some early confirmations are show as having taken place at the Cathedral.

  • Annual Report on Project Activity Year Two: Nov 2016 – Oct 2017
    Red Squirrels United Annual report on project activity Year two: Nov 2016 – Oct 2017 LIFE14 NAT/UK/000467 Action C1 Urban IAS grey squirrel management in North Merseyside Executive Summary Activities under Action C1 have been underway throughout the North Merseyside and West Lancashire area, carried out by the Community Engagement Officer and Red Squirrel Ranger. Staffing issues have meant there has been a 2 month gap in the Ranger post and a new member of staff but the post is now stable and grey squirrel control throughout the designated areas continues. Grey squirrel control continues in the towns through the urban trap loan scheme. Participation in the trap loan scheme has increased in Crosby after a successful urban trap loan workshop but effort now needs to be focused in Southport and Maghull. The Community Engagement Officer has run 18 events and workshops throughout the project area in this time to increase community awareness regarding the impact of grey squirrels as a non-native invasive species, particularly on the red squirrel. There is real passion from the local community to see red squirrels in the Southport parks again and this drives support for grey squirrel control. Red and grey squirrel sightings continue to be received from members of the public and all sightings and grey squirrel control data are recorded in a format approved by Newcastle University for their data analysis. Introduction The North Merseyside and West Lancashire red squirrel population is the southernmost population in mainland England and has provided socio-economic benefits to the local economy through tourism, attracting approximately 300,000 visitors per year.

Using methods developed during a 1992 translocation, over eight hundred 1st year plants, together with seed-pods, were moved by volunteers to two protected receptor sites at Crosby and Birkdale in August 2011. Monitoring the following summer located small surviving populations at the receptor sites but mortality of transplants appeared to be over 90%, seed germination and establishment contributing most individuals. Low success at Crosby seemed partly attributable to winter sand-blow and heavy public pressure, while vegetation overgrowth may have been an adverse factor at Birkdale. An unexpected finding was that the original Crosby colony survived the removal of most of its habitat, about 1300 plants being counted in 2012 on the levelled dune area. More than half were small seedlings, presumably derived from buried seed. Also, 234 Isle of Man cabbage plants were discovered on the new coastal defence bund at Hightown, having arisen from propagules transported from Crosby. Other known Sefton duneland colonies at Southport Marine Lake and Blundellsands were also monitored, the former having apparently declined to extinction.
