<p>I have now received a copy of this birth certificate, and it would appear that the birth was registered as a girl! The father was John Lewis Isaacs and the mother was Hannah Isaacs (Benjamin) and the child was born on 21st March 1848 at 27 Hutchinson Avenue, Gravel Lane, Aldgate. I don't know how common it was for the wrong sex to be recorded, but the date and everything else seems to make it unlikely that this is not the correct info.</p><p><p></p></p><p><p>ISAACS, ELIZA BENJAMIN Order</p></p><p><p>GRO Reference: 1848 J Quarter in EAST LONDON UNION Volume 02 Page 215</p><p><p></p></p><p><p>1861 living at home in Birmingham but shown as Eliza D Isaacs</p></p><p><p>1871 listed as Elijah Fraaes, boarder 17b Gt Homer st, Liverpool</p></p><p><p>Lived at</p></p><p><p>not listed in 1873 mostly Gores Directories</p></p><p><p>1874 169 Richmond Row and Christian St</p></p><p><p>1878 4 Princes Walk (and Gt Howard St?)</p></p><p><p>1879 36 Brook Street off Old Hall St</p></p><p><p>1880 72 Great Howard Street</p></p><p><p>1881 33 Cheapside.

It began near the bluecoat school in 1732 and moved to Brownlow Hill in 1769. It was the largest workhouse in the Country and evolved into a small Town with carts and other vehicles moving around within the grounds. There were footwalks for people, a small church seating 800 people and a separate hospital, which at times housed over 1,000 people and became one of the best hospitals in the Liverpool area.It was always over crowded. The poor law Board certified it for 3,280 people but by 1910 there were more than 5,000 people there. There were six people to a bed at times with others sleeping in the corridors.The buildings were demolished before the second World War and the site upon which they stood is now occupied by the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral."</p><p><p></p></p><p><p>Just received the death certificate for Elijah Isaacs - it looks as if it is the one!</p><p><p></p></p><p><p>Name: Elijah Isaacs</p></p><p><p>Where: Liverpool Workhouse Infirmary</p></p><p><p>When: 14th October 1913</p></p><p><p>Age: 65</p></p><p><p>Occupation: Draper (shopkeeper), 41a Copperas Hill</p></p><p><p>Cause: Myocarditis (chronic) & hyperstatic pneumonia</p></p><p><p>Informant: W Bray, Govenor of Liverpool Workhouse</p></p><p><p></p></p><p><p>1911 with "Ellin" age 63 and 51</p></p><p><p></p></p><p><p>ALLEGED EXTENSIVE THEFTS FROM LEWIS'S</p></p><p><p>“... employer.
