Liverpool directories or electoral rolls 1945 - 1965 PRESCOTT

[vernpres]

Hi Everyone.  I am wondering if some kind soul would please look in Liverpool directories for my great aunt Ellen PRESCOTT who lived in Errol Street, Dingle Vale Road,  and Hollywood Road at various times.  She lived at 20 Hollywood Road when she died in 1971.  It has been suggested to me that she might have gone there to live with a brother (who would have to be my long lost grandfather, John William PRESCOTT).  I would like to determine when she moved to Hollywood Road, and who lived at #20 before she moved in.

I understand that electoral rolls might also be available and would list all residents of the household.

In review, I am interested in
     any listings for Ellen Prescott  1945 - 1965
     any listings for John William Prescott 1945 - 1965
     any listings for 20 Hollywood Road

Thanks
Vern in Canada

Hi

What you are asking involves a lot of time and effort which may be why you have not had any replies

It is impossible to find anybody on an electoral roll for that period without an address so only Hollywood Rd could be searched. 

However - you are asking for a 21yr search for that address based on a death there in 1971.  That's a lot of searching.

Do you have a copy of her death cert - who reported her death

Thanks for your reply, Carole.
Sorry, it was not my intention to ask for a 21 year search.  I simply thought that someone who had a directory or two in that time frame might do me a favour of a lookup of Prescotts and of Hollywood Road to help me narrow things down.
As for electoral rolls, I know nothing about them but someone had suggested them to me as a source.
Yes I have her death certificate and the informant doesn't help.
Again, I am sorry that people think that I have asked for extensive research and apologise for the request and hereby withdraw it..

Hi Vern

Please leave your request open - you never know, somebody may be going to the records office in the future and may look it up for you.

I sent that info as I was just concerned that you may be wondering why you hadn't had any replies - particularly as Rootschatters are renowned for their speed in answering posts

Electoral Rolls are a better option for your query than local directories but they do restrict any search to Hollywood Road only

I have discovered that Ellen PRESCOTT still lived at 20 Errol Street in 1949.  So Ellen moved to Dingle Vale Road after 1949 and lived there a few years before moving to 20 Hollywood Road.  I am really just trying to find out  when she moved to Hollywood Road, and if there was another PRESCOTT living there when she moved in.  I think I can safely cut the time period to about 1955 - 1965 at this point.
Electoral rolls are probably my best bet for that.  I assume that Liverpool electoral rolls would be at the Liverpool Record Office.  But, I wonder if they might also be held at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston?

[CaroleW]

I would very much doubt they are also held in Preston.

They are only at Liverpool.

Hi 

I asked a friend to check his directories for you and this is what he found

1958 #8 Dingle Vale Miss E Prescott
1962 #8 Dingle Vale Miss E Prescott
She wasn't at Dingle Vale in the 1955 or later in 1966.

So she may have moved to Hollywood Rd between 62-66, If you can get an electoral roll look up between these 4 years you may find the answer.

Thank you very much for this information, Susie.  It is exactly what I needed to narrow down her movements.
