This page is dedicated to some of the more famous Scousers. I hope to add to it when time is
available. A few will have links to other pages on this site, or even to other sites.
However, the point of this page is to show off as many famous Scousers as possible, and let
me tell you there's quite a bunch!
Knowsley's Famous People: A look into the lives of some of the famous people to come out of Knowsley. Includes biographies on sportsmen, artists, and scientist.
Anne Clough: The life story of the early suffragist Anne Clough is described here. It includes her time in college, and her involvement in the early suffrage movements of the mid 1800s.
William Ewart Gladstone: Four time Prime Minister, Gladstone was the son of a Scotsman, born in England (Liverpool), who lived his later years in Wales, and who saw the solving of the Irish Problem as his ultimate mission.
Jeremiah Horrocks: Liverpool's own Stephen Hawking, born over 300 hundred years before Hawking himself was born.
Mike Myers: A Scouser? Mike Myers? I thought he was Canadian? Well, yes he is, but his parents were both hardcore Scousers, as he's very willing to admit.
Redrum: It might seem odd to have a horse on the list of famous Scousers, but "Rummie" was a legend on Merseyside. He was stabled in Southport, and his finest moments were during the Grand National Steeplechase at Aintree.
Poems of William Roscoe: Arguably Liverpool's greatest son, William Roscoe did everything he could possible for the benefit of Liverpool and mankind.
Leonard Rossiter: One of the greats of British comedy, Rossiter's work as an actor is extremely interesting. Who can forget Mr. Rigsby!
Adrian Scott Stokes: A brief overview of the career of one of Merseyside's famous artists.
Banastre Tarleton:
Known mostly from the more evil portrayal of his character in the Mel Gison movie "The Patriot" but in reality lived a long and interesting life after the war ended.
William Herbert Wallace: Another interesting who done it similar to Florence Maybrick. This story was also turned into the movie "The Man From The Pru" starring Jonathan Pryce.
Joseph Williamson: The Mole of Edge Hill came
to Liverpool to seek his fortune. Success enabled Williamson to build several houses on a previously all-but empty street called Mason Street on Edge Hill on the outskirts of the town. But it was what he built under the houses that is more interesting, and the reason he became known as 'The King of Edge Hill.'
