Tarleton Street and King Street, Liverpool

[nickiejo]

I am trying to locate the premises where Robert Naylor Winter might have been licensed victualler in around 1895 to 1898.  On his daughter Ruby's baptism at St Peter's, Liverpool on 10 March 1895 his address was recorded as Tarleton Street, Liverpool.  I have not seen her baptism record yet so do not know the occupation recorded for the father.  But in 1897 on another child's baptism the address given was 14 King Street, Liverpool and his occupation licensed victualler.   A long shot, but wondered if 14 King Street might have been a pub?

I have a book listing the 1700-odd pubs in the Liverpool Licensing district in 1909 (but nothing earlier).  There were three premises listed in King Street, Garston, but no. 14 is not one of them.  They are about 6 miles from the city centre.  There was another King Street, off South Castle Street in the city commercial centre, but no pubs are listed for it.
Tarleton Street had four pubs listed.
At what church was the 1897 baptism?
Someone with a local directory might have more to offer.
It is possible that your man did not live on the premises he ran - unusual but possible.

Thank you Ainslie.  The 1897 baptism was at St George's church, abode 14 King Street.  By 1899 the family were in Poulton-cum-Seacombe and shortly afterwards on the Isle of Man - and from then on  back and forth to Manchester.  I have evidence that his occupation in 1893 (and for several years prior) was a commercial traveller.  When the family were in Manchester 1904 onwards they were running a pub.

The central King Street was close to St George's church.  That area has all been redeveloped, mostly by the newish Liverpool One shopping complex.  There could have been pubs in King Street earlier, but I have no details.

There's a birth announcement in the Liverpool Mercury for 1 May 1897 re the birth of a son for Robert Naylor Winter at the Cottage Hotel, King Street. "London papers please copy"
