Mandy

Thanks, Mandy.
I've got 1936, which will probably be very similar to 1938.

On a similar subject, I've got a huge collection of photocopies of maps, and can do requests.

Hi Jacky
I'm sorry I should have explained what they are.:)

A street directory is similar to a modern phone book ,it usually lists the main house holder, their occupation address & phone number if they have one

I can search by address or name

not all addresses are listed & I have only found one of my relatives :PDT_Xtremez_12: court properties seem to have been ommitted
but they are useful for checking where a family was after the 1901 census

Hi Phil where do you get the 36 and 69 directorys from?
Mike

I got both of mine through acquaintances.
Mandy can say where she got hers from.
I think they're on CD's.
Keep asking in second-hand bookshops, but expect to pay anything up to £75 for Victorian ones. (I see you're in Australia, but this advice is aimed for everybody).
Not that I know anything about eBay, but I suppose that will be the main source these days, but with the paper being very fragile, I wouldn't like to buy one by post (and they're so heavy, the postage must be costly).

1936. John William Reid was at 29 Irving Street.
There were no Hindle's in Litherland

Irving Street is not listed in 1968, and doesn't exist now.
It was close to Seaforth & Litherland Station.

Yes:
Williams Mrs. Sarah Eliz. statnr
Town Sub-Post, Money Order & Telephone Call Office

Many thanks Philip. In 1938 it's Mrs Eliz. Williams - presumably the same person as the one you found in 1936. Yet the contemporary phone books show S.E. Jones as the subscriber for that business throughout that period. Strange.

The Samuel Ernest Jones that I am interested in lived round the corner from Myers Road East at 24 Caithness Drive. He is listed there in Kelly's 1938 and described as a sales manager. Interestingly the phonebook listing for that address from 1937 to 1950 is in the name of his son who was just 21 in 1937.

PhilipG
07-23-2007, 01:42 PM
I suspect phone books weren't as up to date as directories, or amended as often.
(Where are these phone boooks, BTW?).

21 of course, was the age of majority.

In 1936, 22 Caithness Drive is listed, after which "Westland" has no number.
It was occupied by Robinson Wm. who. fruitr.

ShaunJ

(Where are these phone boooks, BTW?).




Thanks again Philip for the 1936 info. To answer your question I am accessing phone book images 1880-1984 via my Ancestry.co.uk subscription. It's a fantastic resource but searching for Joneses isn't terribly easy!

Philip ...

Anything from 1881 onwards I guess, as I have no idea how long the family remained in the Liverpool area but know George Haycock was aboard HMS Carysfort during the 1881 census taking.

He married Frances Prince in 1888 in L'pool, so must have moved there between 1881-1888.

Anything you can dig up will be very much appreciated!

PhilipG
09-10-2007, 12:05 AM
Hello Scruffy.

1936 is the earliest directory I have and 86 Brisbane Street was occupied by John Farrell.

Haycock:
George. 3 Browning Road, Wallasey.
George. 86 Blythswood Street, L17.
John Albert. 19 Peel Street.
John William. 107 Ritson Street, L8.
Joseph P. 40 Sandstone Road, Old Swan.

There are also Haycocks.

Scruffy
09-11-2007, 05:33 AM
Hi Philip.

I'm sure some of these Haycocks are relatives, but as I don't have the exact names of George's children, I can't figure out which ones :disgust:

Anyway, thanks for looking into this for me, I appreciate it!

Hiya Lis

I'm sorry Walgrave Street isn't listed so I checked for Alec Webster but he isn't listed either

Thought you'd like to know that the 1936 directory shows Alex Webster, tramway inspector, at 189 Waldgrave Road.

The Record Office have Electoral Registers.
Everybody over voting age should be listed for the address.
They also have all the street directories, so you can find out how long they were at any address.
BTW. It's Waldgrave Road, not Street.

Hi. Could you look up 1. Edge Hill West Derby for me. I have a census entry for 1851 but they may have been there later. My relative is John JAckson shown as a Beer House Keeper. Is this address a pub?
Thanks. Lis

hi yes thats the one i had family in hopwood st joseph owens, thinking about it i dont think they would be in sumner st i think it may be eldon st as i have them last there on the 1901 census, roll on the 1911 census !! the trouble is john is in the merchant navy and his wife jane may have been staying with relatives,

Hi robbiedog.
Can see you're a newbie.
This particular pub was mentioned in quite a few different threads a couple of months ago, and a photo of the site as it is today has been posted.

Hi, Mandy.
I hope you don’t mind me asking, but could you please try and find if there are any Wheelwright premises in the West Derby area, around 1850 to 1890.

Thanks.
Stan.
