I'm so thrilled to come across this thread (I was searching old Everton street maps on Google) my Nan lived in Amos street as a child (b1913) her mother died when she was 17 and she had to look after her six brothers and sisters and her father who was a cruel man. In the end her father moved to London and house was signed over to Nan who lived there with her husband sadly he died when their daughter, my aunt was two years old. Nan remarried and had another baby and her husband again passe away when my aunt was one year old.
I think she left Amos Street in the late 40's and he moved to Edge Hill, she then met my Grandad and had my mum and they were married for 40 for 43 years until Grandad passed away in 1995.

Nan is now 97 and is still going strong, I'm lucky that she can give me all the information on her fantastic if somewhat tragic life.
