Old Liverpool Maps

[atticus]

Hi
 I would like to plot the streets my ancestors lived in on a map, to give me a feel to their locations to each other, I only lived in Liverpool when I was very young, so the locations on my families records do not make much sense to me. What would be a good old map to help me?

I have one map West Derby 1906, Godfrey Edition.
My family mainly lived in West Derby, Everton and Toxteth.

Thank You

Hi atticus

What streets are you looking for? A lot of my ancestors lived in similar areas to yours and I've a few Alan Godfrey maps which have been useful.

Edge Hill 1905 ( no 106.15 ) has a good portion of West Derby on it.

Cheers

Hi atticus

I'm looking for some of those streets on the 1905, but not found any yet
However another street map you may find useful is on a cd from S&N Genealogy Supplies.
It's   C.1890 Street Map of Liverpool and very good.

I'll keep looking on this map in the meantime.

Cheers

Hi
 Will look that CD up. Also found Sun Street, Maguire Street and Northumberland Street.

 Thanks

Hi atticus

Nearly all of the streets you named are on the cd.

Holland St was on a more recent map, but Sun St, Low wood St and Ellesmere Rd I couldn't find.

I think the cd is a good bet, but if you are able to get to any family history fairs, there are often people there selling Alan Godfrey maps and you can check before you buy!!

Good luck
Cheers

Thank you Erika,
I think I will order in the maps first, if not get the cd.
I checked your names list none of mine on it
Thank you again

You may find the Sun Street in Toxteth Park area

Hi

Grafton St. and Northumberland St  are in Toxteth Park. They are still here today. My house was built about 1875. I would assume the same for Northumberland St., as it's not far away from me.
