Can anyone help with a query about an address in Southport in 1895? From a probate record, a relative died at AMROTH VILLA, but she was not there in 1891 and her widower was not there in 1911. No road is given, according to what I have been told. ADDED: The villa was in Churchtown.
Many thanks

We need a name Daggers please.

With a name I should be able to help.

The name is Harriet [or sometimes Henrietta] Sharp.
Thanks

Daggers,

Typo, Amroath Villa, probate.

or have the probate got it wrong?

Could be either - I have not seen the probate ref, or other mention of it.

I will see what I can find. It is definitely Amroath on the Probate Index.

Cambridge Road may be another clue to the location of Amroath Villa in 1895.

I think it will be this one

134 Cambridge Road Ambroth Villa

This was 4 houses after Denmark Road and Manor Road in the 1900/01 directory. At that time occupied by George Thornborough.

It wasn't there in the 1892 directory.


In the 1910.11 directory it is

134 Cambridge Road Amroth Villa Mrs Franklin
I have to put the car away so I'll nip up to Churchtown and take a look.

Well I popped up to Churchtown and outside the very house I wanted was a large United Utilities tanker and van obviously sorting out a drain so I couldn't check the gate post for the name!

The houses are semis probably were built as 4 bedroomed places. Their numbering has changed since the directory entries I gave earlier. I'll try again later in the week.

In 1901 Edith, Harold G and Eric Ball Thornborough are in residence. They are the children of George and Fanny Maria Thornborough.

That's what I call well beyond the call of duty. Many thanks for all your trouble. It was very inconvenient of people to move between census years!

Don't you just love our members, well done Hilary

Also very inconvenient of the water board to restrict your view at just that moment!
