The area once well known for it's sense of community was torn apart as families were moved from often old and poor living conditions to new housing much of which was being built on the 'countryside' at the edge of the city. I am in the process of finding out more about my ancestors. Although I know a lot about my family and the people who first bore the names 'Pulford' and 'Brennan' I would like to find out more about those people who had those names in the years between then and now. Keep visiting to find out more. On the left is my Great Uncle, Robert, who was my Nan's younger brother.
Nobody seems to know who the other person is.
This picture was taken sometime in the 1940's in the 'Vauxhall' area of Liverpool which is near where I live now. Things have changed a lot since the time the photo was taken but it is nice to feel I am returning to my roots by taking the family back up Eldon Road. Hundreds of years ago the Pulfords lived in the Cheshire village of Pulford as lords of the manor, in possession of an ancestral home and acres of land. My mothers maiden name Brennan belonged to a clan who were seen as one of the most prominent in northern Kilkenny, Ireland. Said to have decsended from the Vikings the Brennans held onto Kilkenny for 500 years until the English to laid claim to their land.
