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.
