Can you decipher this street?

[FredaFox]

Hello
I'm slowly piecing together my mums family tree and struggling to decipher some if the writing in the census documents

Can anybody tell what this street is in Liverpool?

Thank you

West Derby

Sorry just realised you said street, no idea. Sorry

56 Saunders Drive ...possibly?

Galveden Drive ?

Garrules Drive

The first bit looks like 5b to me... the rest is tricky!

Does this list of alphabetical street names in Liverpool help?

Or even this one is just the West Derby ones. I guess they might have changed names since then but its a start

I would look at several pages written by the same census taker and look at parts that are easy to read. Look at how they write each letter and then compare to the street you're looking at. That can help to decipher it.

Gaerwen Street

There is a Grenadier Dr in west derby, could it be that?

I was about to put Gaerwen too- could be a Welsh link?

Gaerwen Street West Derby comes up in a google search but not Drive if that helps

Something else to consider is that the spelling they've used might not be the correct one.

However, on streetview the houses look very modern.

Was West Derby bombed ? Many pre war streets don’t exist now

Yes, it was as included the docks at Bootle.

This is a good resource for old maps. Lancashire CVI.8 (includes: Liverpool) - 25 Inch Map (oldmapsonline.org)

I concur with Gaerwen street.

If you have an Ancestry account, the street name is usually transcribed for you.

Gaerwen Street existed in 1900. It’s on square O5 if you navigate the map using the left sidebar.

Wow thank you so much for all of the responses!!

I have looked on street map for some of the other addresses and some must have been bombed as parts of streets are grassed areas now or newer properties

Thank you all I have a starting point now ❤️

Looks like Gaerwen Street might have been in Everton.

To my eye it says Rd at the end. So something Road.

56 Saridess Rd?
56 Garidess Rd?

Some of the transcriptions are absolutely shocking though. I had an ancestor on a census record transcribed as “Arplangs”.

It was Alphonso.

A tricky name, and scrawl-y handwriting, but still 😅
