Old Maps
« on: Tuesday 02 August 05 22:17 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am trying locate where Gerrads Cottages, Garston was in Liverpool?
My g g grandfather lived there in 1881 but can not find where it is today.
I have a fabulous street map of Liverpool dated 1836 but it is the city centre through the docks up to Everton Valley and just past Upper Parliament Street it doesn't go as far as Garston.
Would love to go and see what is now where Gerrads Cottages were. My mum remembers her mum talking about her grandfather and the cows in the fields etc... difficult to imagine now!! Oh and my grandmother always said she was a Garstonian not from Liverpool as it was separate in those days!

Have you tried looking at the addresses for the neighbours on www.familysearch.org?.
Sometimes you can pin it down from adjacent households.

Try also www.old-maps.co.uk

Hi Pauline
I never thought of the neighbour look up trick good call! :)
I had forgotten about 'old maps'............. I have tried them before but for the area where I live to see if I could find my Victorian house and was disappointed it wasn't there

Thanks
