Toxteth locations query
« on: Wednesday 26 September 07 19:56 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help please.
My grandfather was a Police Officer between 1906 - 32.
A large part of his career appears to have been in the West Derby/Toxteth areas.
He married in the area and his two children brought up in the area their last residence whilst in the service being Gladeville Road.
Two questions:
One - where was the police station located at this time?
Two - where would the two children have gone to school (Brother and Sister)?
Thanks for any info

Hi Ian !

If you have any street addresses from 1901 ..... you might be able to work out where the school would be !

Also I found this re the old Police Station .... you might Google and see if you can find more !!

Hi Ian

My granddad was in the Liverpool Police from 1920 to 1946. I managed to get his pension record from Merseyside Police HQ and it contained loads of interesting information including a head and shoulders photograph. Have you got his pension records?

If not here is the contact address

Merseyside Police Headquarters 
Canning Place
Liverpool
Merseyside
L1 8JX
Postal address 
PO Box 59
Liverpool
L69 1JD
Telephone
0151 709 6010

There is a really helpful woman in the HQ but her name escapes me.

Cheers

Ruby

Gladeville Road was in Aigburth ..... if you scroll down ... you'll see a house for sale there  :) ( can't believe the prices !!  :o )
