Thanks Poirot! thats my grandads birth place sorted! Regards, Sue

Hi again ! it has got to be Etna Street in Old Swan, if it states on the certificate West Derby with the Sub District as West Derby Eastern. The birth was probably registered at Brougham Terrace.

Thanks Jim, just had a play on the multimap site! my rellies didn't move very far! I'm getting to know Liverpool quite well now! I'll probably print them off tomorrow as evidence! ta, Sue

Another site to get street locations is www(.)multimap(.)com == remove brackets Select the advanced search which is just below the search boxes, and you can then inout the street name Jim

Yeah, I reckon it must be Etna Street in West Derby, Old Swan, L13. The birth cert. says the registration district is West Derby, and the sub-district, West Derby then, looks like 'Easten' ? (the writing is appauling on this cert! Sue

Sue, a combination of memory, 1906 Everton map and 1911 Gores directory Etna st is up by Mill Rd Hospital so it will be West Derby registry, which is 5 min from Mill rd, as for the rest Piorot is right Langsdale st (my dads old childhood st) and Atkinson st are within 5min walk of each other in Everton, hope this helps a little... also its about 10min walk from etna St to the other two streets.....MOE!

Sue, West Derby was most probably the registration district, if you look at the birth certificate again, see what the Sub District was? if it was Everton ? it will be the Etna Street off Margaret Street, Everton.

Thanks guys! I reckon it could be Etna Street! the writing on the certificate is very 'scrawly' so what I thought was Etua very probably is Etna! Thanks again! sue

Susan, if it was Etna Street, In my 1958 street directory it lists two, 1/ Etna Street 132 Green Lane, Liverpool 13 Old Swan. 2/ Etna Street 50 Margaret Street, Liverpool 6 Everton.

Hello Sue, A lot of the old Liverpool Streets have been demolished.. To look at old maps there's a site called old - maps(.)co(.)uk Remove the brackets and put the letters closer together. From the above site, you can enlarge the map eg. West Derby, and scroll around the streets, the map shows all houses, trees, mines, schools etc...its great. Have Fun Diane NSW Australia ex Lancs

Etua could be ETNA STREET which is on the 1851 Liverpool census. Paul

Thanks Helen! I might just google! i hadn't heard of this site so thanks, Sue

I've got the Etua Street name off a birth certificate (I forgot I'd got it!) it is definately spelt like this, and it says it's in West Derby. It is probably long gone as the birth cert is from 1906. Thanks anyway Poirot.

Sometimes you can find out where a place was by googling. To see if it still exists you can look on www streetmap co uk (put . in spaces). This is a great site, you can search London Streets, streets or placenames, and you can then zoom in or out of the map. nell

Susan, having spent my childhhod in Everton, Liverpool, my school was in Langsdale Street. And it ran up from Soho Street to Shaw Street. Atkinson Street was of Mansfield Street, off St Anne Street. There was no such street as Etua Street, you must have the spelling wrong.

Just found where Etua Street is or was, its in West Derby. Thanks for finding where the other streets are. Sue.

There is a Langsdale St right in the middle of liverpool., parallel with St Annes st An Atkinson GROVE in Huyton cant find Etua st at all (is that right, sure its not Estuary St , or something like?)

I am trying to establish which area of Liverpool my gt grandparents came from but I don't know Liverpool!! the streets may not exist now ,but if anyone is familiar to the area please help!! Langsdale Street, Atkinson Street and Etua Street. Thankyou, Sue
