Could someone look at these news articles for me, and tell me if there is any mention of where or when J.L. Hall/John Lawrence Hall was born?

09 September 1875 - Liverpool Mercury - Liverpool, Lancashire, England
09 September 1875 - Liverpool Daily Post - Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Thanks for any help.

I have read the articles but it doesn't say if he was born in Liverpool.
"endeared himself to the people of Liverpool"

Thanks for looking
