I can't help you with your Anglesey research but I can correct a bad transcription you have seen somewhere, probably on ancestry.co.uk like me.   Bean = Beau.  An understandable error with the way Ns are often written.
My ancestors also lived in that street (though not the Anglesey line) and initially I thought it was Bean street.  Further research - including buying a reproduction map from Liverpool Lbrary) revaled that it is BeaU.

A tiny bit of the street still exists

hi

Thanks for that info. Very interesting. I thought bean street was odd! Beau sounds much moe likely.
