Hi, Does anyone have any advice on where to search for the occupants of a property in 1921?
Hi Lelly, are you trying to find the occupants of a specific address in 1921? ie: who lived at the address?
Daz
No. 1921? My but that must be one long road. ;)
Liverpool Records Office for sure but it's closed down for some time now for renovations.

I'm now wondering whether this was likely as the plot still seems too small to have fitted three properties on it originally?
See attached.
This is notouriously,it happened quite a lot before and after the warwere houses were knocked down due to their condition or just basically walls collapsed with a view to demolishing them if the need arised.Quote:

Tuebrooks Silverdale avenue,Hillbury Avenue and the next street all had their lower numbered house demolished hence why you can see waste ground in their place.
Hi Lelly,
The only time No 2 Medlock St shows up for the 1st time is on the 1881 census, the tenant then was a Matthew Carruthers who was a joiner by trade and a keeper of sweet shop and dairyman, maybe it was a slip of the registrars hand regarding the door No

double post again, sorry.
Thanks everyone... I wonder if a house could have been turned into a flat and renumbered as no. 2? Its defo no 2 on the birth certificate
9Whats the probabilty the map numbers are wrong on that sideof the road??
And what about that oller on the opposite side,Daz
We need a Gore's or Kelly's Street directory for 1921, or close to, to see what's listed? Here's the map from 1927 [as close as I could get to 1921]. Notice numbers 6 & 8 are recorded as one property [LRO].Quote:

Gore's Street Directory, 1900
Elizabeth B. ['Elizabeth' is the surname, so could be male or female?] who is a chandler by trade lives at 2 Medlock Street, in 1900. Next door at number 4 Medlock Street was Thomas H. Flawn who was a boot & shoemaker.

I suggest you put a post into the Gores/ Kelly look-up thread. Someone may have access to a directory around 1921.

Mart

Thanks to all for taking the time to look :)
No 2 is on there, I meant top left side is Medlock StQuote:

I don't get this...why does it say " Here is Rumney Road East side "
Rumney Road is the last reference on the West side directory, then it goes on to the East, as Mart said.Quote:

All property south of the back-entry belong to the houses fronting Westminster Road.

When a street has another running across it, its gets a mention in the directory
e.g.
1 high st
3 high st
5 hight st
7 high st
low st
9 high st
11 high st
etc
