Garston Liverpool

[Heyesie]

Make sure it's an old one then

In ancestry.com 1891 England Census house nos. 23-42 Gordon Terrace, Garston are named Stananought Cottages.  My eldest daughter has ancestors at No.24, her gtx2 grandfather's brother William Henry Drew & family.

Hi Keomike

In a Directory I have it says they were by Aigburgh Vale.

sorry everybody but I have never heard of Irwell St/george Terrace/gordon terrace or Stananought Cottages...and from everyones research I am a little bemused as to why they are classed as Garston when they are clearly in Aigburth...and don`t forget that in between Garston and Aigburth we have Cressington and also Grassendale....Garston wasn`t classed as being part of Liverpool until 1906 (might have been 1903) so I am a little baffled....sorry I couldn`t help...allan

I'm like you I can never get my head around some of the districts they have parts of Liverpool in.
My GrandFather lived under the bridge in 1911.
Yet it is down as a district of Wavertree and part of West Derby.
There is still an Irwell close just by the Aigburth arms pub
But now its flats
The streets I named for RedKop were from a map I was looking at on the now defunct Toxtethnet
The roads ran down from victoria road towards the park and aigburth vale(THE ROAD NOT THE AREA)
To me and you this is Aigburth, heading south as you say we go through Grassendale and Gressington before reaching Garston
But unless like you and me you come from these areas
You would be none the wiser
I was just looking at another posters interests, on it he has some streets where his family lived in 1911.
He has them down as west derby
But to me they are Old Swan, albiet just on the border of WD
Unlike Garston
But as we know they talk about the West Derby hundred and not the district as we know it
Which also incompassed parts of St Helens and Prescot

Hi
Caught my eye when you mentioned Stananought Terrace as I have heard of it.
My relatives, Thomas Scarisbrick lived there in 1877, number 30. My dad was born and bred in Grassendale, and he said it sounds like its the far end of Aigburth?
In 1877 the address was
30, Stananought Terrace
Toxteth Park
Liverpool.

Any help or does this confuse things more???

Hi BENS,

on my 1881 census, my family live in Stananought Cottages ,not Terrace . And, it does say, Garston, not Toxteth. 

Thanks for your interest. 

Also,
this family had moved to, Victoria Terrace, Garston by 1891. Anyone know where this is/was 

Thanks again everyone,
