Hello again!

I'm hoping that one of our members will be able to help me in confirming details of the occupants of the following :-

93 Chestnut Grove Bootle in 1932
129 Kirkdale Road Liverpool 5 in 1958 (I'm hoping that this address is a pub)

I'm looking for confirmation that these are old rellies of mine.

Thanks in advance of your help.

Robin.

Bob,
Thanks a million for your immediate reply, which is very helpful in the case of Kirkdale Road - Evan Morris was my grandad (he was also manager of the George on Marsh Lane at one time). Chestnut Grove result was not so illuminating! But we press on!
Thanks again Bob, you are a star! Robin in Poland.

Hi Robin, findmypast have the 1939 Directory (not a census) people had to register. Evan may have been too young at the time to be listed however if you know his parents first names, they may appear with their unnamed kiddies. It's pay per view but well worth it. Good luck me dear Tina

Hiya Tina!
My question was really to try and confirm the identity of somebody else! I know Evan's whereabouts in 1939 (he was the manager of The George Tavern in Marsh Lane), Anyway I went back through the notes I made with my mum years ago, and I found the confirmation I needed! Thanks for your suggestion - you are one of a very helpful bunch! Robin.
