Title: West Derby Street 1896
Post by: Clarxpi on Thursday 17 April 25 14:12 BST (UK)
Hi,

I am hoping someone can read this street name for me?

It's West Derby and the street existed in 1896.


TIA!

Do either of these match up?

21 Mela Street
1891: Edmund Holden and family
1901: Maria Segar, widow, two sons and her mother

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

I thought Mela St., but couldn't find it on Google.

Just opened the map and Mela St is next to another family address in Ruthin Street.
