Rawsthorn(e) Square?

Anyone know where exactly Rawsthorn(e) Square was? I know it was in the Scotland Road area possibly off Lime Kiln Lane but I can't see it on any of the old maps. I had a Manx ancestor called John Arnold living there with his family in the 1840s, he was a miller. I read somewhere on the net that the Liverpool Rawsthornes where involved in pubs and windmills in Liverpool so there may have been a mill there. My ancestor had returned to the IOM by 1851 and continued to be a miller in IOM eventually living with his extended family at Water Mills House in Malew.

Hi Col :)
Had a bit of luck in 1894 Directory.
It's not listed as a separate street but is listed off Limekiln Lane between house numbers 46 & 48, right by St Albans Church & the Public Baths.

I hope this is of help.

Thanks Tina. Would you say it was to the left of the baths or right of the church on this map:-
