Default Links between Liverpool and Ireland
Anyone know the story behind how first-generation indigenous Scousers came to have so much Irish lineage in them?

Maybe its because the Irish had to stay in Liverpool coz when they went to buy train tickets out they found that their wallets and purses had been robbed

what was the point of this thread as you don't seem particularly interested in the answer Redway and it is information that is readily available on the net

Is it alright if I have a life outside TiBB and don’t post every second of every minute?

That might wash if you didn't post on the

'are you psychic' thread and 'are you a racist thread' where you responded to a post I made last night, but you never bothered with this thread you made yourself?

and you still haven't acknowledged the replies.....just rude

It is essentially "The Ferry" . Basically, The Potato Famine happened and a lot of Irish people effectively became refugees, and Liverpool was the main port. Plenty moved on of course but obviously a certain percentage "stuck" (as Liverpool was an industrial city and employed them as labourers).

'member in the best movie ever Titanic, the Irish guy Tommy insists that "Irishmen built this ship" even though it was built in Liverpool. That's because by the time Titanic was being built, pretty much the entirety of the manual labour in the Liverpool ship building industry was Irish.

Interesting addition: On a grander scale, it's a similar reason that a huge proportion of the Irish-American population is in the New York / Boston / New England area. Carried on from Liverpool across the Atlantic during the famine and settled in the areas that British ships were docking.

I thought the Titanic was built in Belfast, registered in Liverpool and sailed for America from Southampton.

Relying on a Big Brother forum where the average age is about 16 for facts is exactly what I’d do, innit.

Right, so you made a thread on a BB forum about the Irish in Liverpool but are not interested in the responses, certainly narrows it down as to why you made the thread, cheers!
