Grosvenor Street is off Lees Ave which is by Rock Ferry Station
Allison St is off St Pauls Road
I know Alison St has been knocked down as my great aunt had a shop there.
Lees Ave is still there, but not Grosvenor St it was next to Ionic St school which is still there.
I still have an old map showing them,
I have a copy of electoral Roll for Alison St but not sure of the date it is but it is after 1928

Further to info provided by Alan, Grosvenor Street ran down the other side of Ionic Street School (our house backed onto the school), parallel to Ionic Street from Lees Ave to New Chester Road.
The houses in the streets between St Pauls Rd and Ionic St School were older and had sustained some bomb damage. I remember playing on waste ground where houses had been.
