Hi Gill, hope these are the right ones although the maps are nearly 100 years later.

Sometimes other members of our forum have earlier maps and can confirm that these were the only ones then.

There is also the possibility that the streets may have changed their names. There were two other Queen Streets which changed their names before 1865

Old Name New Name Near Area
Queen Street Queensbury Street Park Road Toxteth Park
Queen Street Queensland Street Grinfield Street Edge Hill

Can you tell us the source of these addresses was it from a baptism, marriage or death? The place of the event could be useful. The most likely location for a Queen Street in central Liverpool is the one off Old Hall Street that DS shows on his first map. I can't find a Molyneux Street in central Liverpool but there was a Molyneux Place in or off Water Street. There was also a Molyneux Court in Hunter Street.

Molyneaux St was mentioned in UK Poll Books and Electoral Register, my great great grandfather was a Baker in 1806.
Also Queen St in 1818, same great great grandfather still a Baker but also mentions his Son as a Tobaccinist.

Are these entries from UK, Poll Books and Electoral Registers, 1538-1893 on Ancestry? Can you tell us the names so we can look up the records?

Thanks in advance

The address was Molyneux Wient (often different spellings of Molyneux used) it's now called Hockenhall Alley and is off Dale Street. The extract below mentions its alternative name of Hockenhall's Alley:-




This map from the 1900s shows Queen Street bottom left and Hockenhall Alley (between Vernon Street and Cheapside) bottom right:-
