Milk Maid in the City!

[alanwalker14]

I have found a female relative aged 15 in the 1911 census living in the sub district of Scotland Liverpool with an occupation of milk maid. Would she have been working in a commercial dairy or on a farm on the outskirts of the city? the address was 22 Skirving Street if that helps.

Perhaps she worked at one of these establishments,

Yes there were many dairies in Liverpool, unbelieveable to think so now but there are still signs of some of the old buildings if you know where to look for them.

Skirving Street is off Scotland Road and I would imagine if the family didn't have their own dairy for her to work in, then she probably didn't go far. http://www.liverpoolhistoryprojects.co. ... laz/I8.htm

Thank you again. As always, the font of Liverpool ancestry knowledge!
