I think that would be 'matelot' but pronounced matlow.

I think it is a misspelled MALTSTER (malster).   Did he live near a brewery?

I'm not sure if there was a brewery nearby, 'old maps . com' is down for maintenance so I can't check.  I'll have a look when its back up.

They lived in Grafton Street Liverpool.

Having looked at it without reading the other postings first, I would have said "matador".

That would put an interesting turn on things. ;D

Malster - as in the brewing industry
