I'm not sure if the streets have been renamed over the years in the West Derby Liverpool area. On the 1901 census the street name looks like BARCROFT but on a 1916 birth cert the street looks like BARVEL. It falls within the Parish of St Nathaniel Windor (St?) if that helps.

1901 census link for William Hussey & wife Mary J is;

Not a silly question but yes I did try google maps 1st which is why I can't work out what it should or if it isn't there anymore.

My G Granny Catherine Hussey had a child out of wed lock (1916) and the father listed was William Jones. In 1937 William was listed as deceased, Collier. I want to try and find a William Jones who lived near her but I can't work out where she lived and so I can't go much further.

B1....I have checked through the Street Map West Derby 1851 (earlier than you are wanting) and can find nothing closely resembling either names...Have also checked West Derby Streets from 1881 Census and again nothing...
Have you tried to locate Catherine on an earlier West Derby Census ?

Yes 1891 looks like Barcroft to me too!

I have to say I don't do well reading script and if I could copy and paste the images I would.

cancel the last comment on the 1891 census, I've just double checked and they lived in Toxteth Park then ..... sorry about that.

B1 have checked through Liverpool directory for West Derby 1900...same result...Its not West Kirby by any chance is it..?

MaureenNY.....So we are in Toxteth Park for Bancroft St. ?? Situated to the West of the Junction of Upper Parliament St and Smithdown Lane...

Right,although I don't know if it's Toxteth Park or Edge Hill. Not familiar with the area!!

I'm lost 8 (

Bancroft doesn't come up on Google maps either.

Are you talking about Beaumont St? As good as that would be I don't think it is that either.

I knew I had come across it before in the 1891 census

B1.....What can I say other than send me your email address and I will send you a picture and details of where it was.

Thank you, that's wonderful

I now know it is BANCROFT or should I say it was as it's no longer there.

The leverpoole.co.uk is a great site for older maps.

Now for the 48 BARNEL??? Street West Derby listed on the 1916 birth certificate. I've not even had any luck I the website I mentioned above.

Has anyone else come across a street name like this on the census or certificates?

Cheers

VICCIwasVictoria you are wonderful, thank you so very much!

I'll go through it now and check it out.

The 1911 census is her family alright and it seems she had already moved on. I'm guessing she may have been a servent somewhere.

hmmm where do I go from here........

If a Catherine Hussey turned up as a servent somewhere there in no way of knowing she is the right one and even if it was assumed she was with William Jones, how many millions of William & Catherines are there.

As for the street name, I think it might be BARNET it isn't to far away from Bancroft - I think Bancroft is now the dead end of Aigburth St.

B1...

I would go for Barnet Street...I have compared the actual "letters" (as written on BC) and the N in "Jones" and T in "Catherine" are configured as to match "Barnet" as the Street address ....

Yes I matched up the N in Jones to the N in the street name too but didn't get the t but in the list provided here there really isn't much else it could be.
