Who lived at 36 Carter Street Liverpool 1914 and 1915?

[margaret1]

I am trying to find who was living at 36 Carter Street Toxteth Park Liverpool in 1914 and 1915.

Also who else was living at 1 Ampthill Road Aigburth Liverpool in 1914 and 1915, beside Henry Benson, Caroline Augusta Benson and William Kitchin Benson.

I am specifically interested in the years 1914 and 1915 only for both addresses.

Thank you

Try electoral registers, although it won't be the whole household.

What sources did you use to get thus far?

36 Carter Street is not listed in Gore's 1914 directory.

Hi Shaun
Thank you for checking the Gore's 1914 directory.

You had kindly found the Benson family as occupiers of 1 Ampthill Road in 1914 in another post however I was wondering if Gore's directory has entries for 1915 and if Jane (Janie)Elizabeth Cain (Elizabeth Jane (Janie) Cain) or anyone else was listed as living with the Benson Family at 1 Ampthill Road. Also if 1915 Gore's directory has an entry for 36 Carter Street. It's just that I can't find any trace of Janie after giving birth to her daughter on 20 February 1915.

I found a baptism  in 1892 for Alexander George Cockram Leece with parents William Ewen (bookeeper) and Elizabeth address 36 Carter Street, however they were living in Birkenhead Cheshire in 1901.

In UK, City and County Directories, 1766 - 1946 (Kelly's Liverpool) there is an entry dated 1894 for William Evan Leece, Bookeeper, 36 Carter Street, Toxteth Park Liverpool

Also, 36 Carter Street was missed from the 1911 census i.e., there were census returns for numbers 34 and 38 so I'm assuming it was unoccupied.

Hi PaulineJ, thankyou for your reply.

My husband's grandmother was born 20 February, 1915. Her birth certificate shows 1 Ampthill Road Toxteth Park Liverpool as both the birth address and residence of mother Jane Elizabeth Cain. It is also recorded on the certificate that Jane Elizabeth Cain was a General Servant of 36 Carter Street.

I have done quite extensive research for this branch of the family with the help of many people.  I am now in the process of trying to determine Janie's whereabouts after her daughter was born and I was hoping her employers at Carter Street may give me some clues or perhaps a link to her family.

In 1911 Samuel Dening, Railway Station Master was living at 1 Ampthill Road with his family.
I have found Caroline Augusta Benson living at 1 Ampthill Road from 1918 up until 1930 with various members of her family  - Liverpool, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1970
ShaunJ had found the Benson Family living there in 1914  - see above post.

See above post also for my research into 36 Carter Street.

I tried to seach electoral registers using just the address with and without the house number for Carter Street and returned no good matches.

I was hoping that there was a Gore's or other directory for 1915 which would give a result.
