Thanks for your input, Blue. It's bad enough when your ancestors change their names nevermind the street name.
Now I understand what U2 were singing about.

On 30 May 1912 Mary Eves was born to William Eves and his wife Mary (m.s. Moore) who were living at 4, Mar Street, Toxteth, Liverpool. Mar Street is not found in the 1911 census returns on An***try, F*M*P, or 1911 Cen*us.co.*k websites.

Could someone please tell me if the parents were living at the same address in 1911 by using Gore's 1911 Liverpool Street Directory.

Thank you Debbie. I've just seen the record but does that mean he was actually born there as there is a long delay between the birth and that baptism record?

Hi valeriec. Many thanks for your reply. The William Gutherie you found is the right one as I have a copy of the Melita manifest with that same information. What I had missed was the wrong spelling of his surname, my apologies for not saying that in my post. William was one of 12 children and after their mother died from cancer he and four younger siblings were placed in Aberlour Orphanage under the Guardianship of Mr. H. Brown a Coatbridge Council Officer. The information, lined through, in respect of his mother is wrong.

I do not know what B.I.C.A. stood for so cannot offer any help on that. I am slowly piecing together what happened to all the children as my mother was one of them. From what I have managed to uncover this was a period in their lives they never discussed with their own children so whatever help you can provide is very much appreciated.

Hi, sancti. The answer to your question is no as all I have is a photo of her from about the 1930s and I would guess her age to be in her 40s. Although the family came from the Lenzie area, the surname Munro is not uncommon. Also, I do not know for sure if she is a blood relation or one from marriage. All I do know is that my mother called her, "Aunty Bunty".
