Tracing my grandfather Axel Peterson

[litherland lass]

Carole W on my Gransfather’s marriage lines, his father’s surname is written as Peterson.

1921 Catherine/Kate Peterson, formerly Mattson nee Thomas goes back to using her former married name of Matson.
Even Enas (Inas) and Helen (Ellen) are Matson.

Amondg- thank you for the information on 75 Rathbone Street re my grandfather, Axel Martin Peterson. I am interested in trying to find out if this address was the workhouse. And if it was, how can I find out more about it. Reason for asking one of my mum’s step sisters ( surname Matson) I have a envelope for her at this address dated July1910 but I have my grans marriage lines giving their address as Upper Pitt St for both Axel and Catherine, before the 4 Bartholomew Place address.
Another question- knowing my grandfather was a merchant seaman, was there a seafarers accommodation back in the early 1900’s

It was his address before he entered the workhouse, the workhouse was at Brownlow Hill.

It doesn't give a reason for admission, he could have been ill, and admitted to the hospital.

Axel Gustaf Mattson the son was born 24 September 1898 address on the baptism record is 62 Upper Pitt Street. (bap. 12 October 1898)  father Mariner
St Michael, Liverpool
Katie Amanda Mattson was born 10 January 1900 address 62 Upper Pitt Street (bap 31 January 1900) at St Michael, Liverpool.
