Deleted, wrong information.

I found the Claxton couple on 1911
census
Selina had had 4 children 4 died
* Misread ..4 still living

They had a servant aged 26 called Ellen JONES of Cheshire

 I don't know if she was related to my Jones

In 1881 son Ecryode Claxton was 4
Daughter Lenore 1

They had a nursemaid
* Added
Esther Maulkin 21
Cook  Grace SMITH 20 and a maid Mary P Johnson 18

In 1901 Leonora is with them age 21
And there is a cook
Elizabeth WARBERTON  36 and a maid. Ada J JOHNSTON

[brigidmac]

1891 has all 4 children
Ecroyd age 14
Leanora 11 Arthur 7 and Albert N Claxton 4

* Mary Roberts is a widow age 37 cook
Sarah A Radcliffe sg 28 housemaid

I.d like to go back and see if I can read servants over the years to see if they have faithful retainers so far no names recurring

..my eyes aren't too good at the moment but I don't trust transcriptions .

There is a tree on Ancestry with details about House name being 'The Rosary"
Tho different street names ..in 1911 it's 7 Beresford road ..9 bedrooms !

[stanmapstone]

The house was in Brancote Road, No.6 now demolished.

I imagine a grand house
 ..it was 6 Branton Road Birkenhead

It was a large detached house.
No. 6 Brancote Road is shown on this 1954 map https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/329743/388605/13/101329

Thanks for the maps Stan

+ You are right about 1911
address

 I think it was different houses in different censuses but they'd kept using the name "Rosary"

In 1891 it's Allerton road .Allerton ....house named Rosary
