Hi Doreen !

I had a few friends that lived over that way when I was at school ... I remember the big houses !!

I've checked Anfield cemetery and Toxteth and West Derby ...... I wish Liverpool records office was on line !! where else would be a good place to look ?

I've posted a request for directory look ups on the Liverpool forum.  Good helpful people over there and some of them have copies of directories.
