Never thought of looking at probate details!

Could your family have known anything about the dairy?

It only became an option once we had a possible death year.
Too many George Halls otherwise!

Probably  should be DE Villiers Avenue, Crosby.

I used to live in De Villiers Avenue, very close to number 30

Agreed!  My husband's family used to live in De Villiers Avenue.

So , we have found HAnnah's maiden name, and we've found George's death. All we have failed on is a photo of the dairy (assuming he had a dairy, and didn't just keep cows for some else, and trade in hay etc aswell)

Did you look at googlemaps?  Unless the road has been re-numbered, no 8 is a terraced house, but next door is numbered 8a, so maybe it used to be a larger house now divided?
Opposite on the other side of the road are garages - maybe that was fields in the days before everyone had a car, and thus was where the cows grazed, or maybe barns etc for hay storage.
