Search for occupants in 1921

[Lelly]

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?

Liverpool Records Office for sure but it's closed down for some time now for renovations.

Hi Daz
Yes was trying to trace occupants of 2 Medlock St in Kirkdale- shows up on a birth certificate but tried to back track to 1911 census in case it gave clues but number 2 doesnt show up for that street then *help*
trying to trace a date of birth for a resident there noted on the birth certificate so I can backtrack further

Hi lelly,

2 Medlock Street doesn't appear on my 1970 map. It shows the even numbers starting with 6 Medlock. My first thought was that the developer had knocked through the walls of numbers 2, 4, & 6 to create a larger dwelling and perhaps just kept number 6 for the new address? 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.

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

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].

Less likely George...the numbering is consistent on maps of different years. Here's the one for 1954 [LRO]
