Warburton's dairies, liverpool

23/7/2020

I've recently been assisting a reader with their family history research. It involves the Warburton family who were cowkeepers and dairymen in Liverpool. I thought I'd share my findings here in case anyone was interested.

It seems the Warburton family have a long lineage of cowkeeping in Liverpool, principally maintained by three generations of men named Peter Warburton:
Peter Warburton 1 was born circa 1812
Peter Warburton 2 was the son (?) of 1 and was born circa 1839
Peter Warburton 3 was the son (?) of 2 and was born circa 1867
 
Peter Warburton 1 appears on the censuses of 1841 through to 1861 as a Cowkeeper at 24 WILTON STREET (located off Soho Street, just north of Islington).
Peter Warburton 2 has taken over the business by the time of the 1871 census. The record includes his wife, Elizabeth (b. 1836), and children: Rhoda (b. 1863), Peter (b. 1867), and John (b. 1870).
 
By 1881 things get a bit confusing! Peter Warburton 2 and his family (including a 14-year-old Peter Warburton 3) are living at 3 Penton Street and Peter is a ‘Gentleman of Property’. Meanwhile a John Warburton (widower, b. 1814) is a Cowkeeper at 44 CELIA STREET. I don’t know who this John Warburton is, but I’m sure it’s no coincidence that, after Peter Warburton 3 gets married and starts his own family, he becomes a Cowkeeper at that same address, 44 CELIA STREET (1891 census).
 
The trade directories of the day then bowl us a few more googlies! The 1894 directory lists Peter Warburton as a Cowkeeper at 44 CELIA STREET but also as a Dairyman at 44 SCOTLAND ROAD. Then, the 1900 directory lists Peter Warburton as a Cowkeeper at 66-68 LETA STREET and an Isabella Warburton is now running the 44 SCOTLAND ROAD dairy!
 
After all that jiggery-pockery, things settle down a bit and Peter Warburton 3 is recorded as being a Dairyman at 66-68 LETA STREET through the next two censuses and right up until the 1926 directory. I don’t believe any of the original properties have survived.
 
If anyone can add to this, please do get in touch. Thanks, Dave.

My great grandmother had a shop at 42 Celia St and in looking up the 1939 Kelly’s directory I can see Peter Warburton is still listed as Cowkeeper at no 44 Celia St - the end of the terrace.
