Hello Leanne, without a doubt you will need the Liverpool archives library, and in my opinion it's best to book a study hour, to enable you to get the micro fiche !? reader!. The local library hold the electoral registers only back as far as 2000, anything prior to that is stored at the archives!.
Here in Nottingham the archivist charge £25:00 an hour to do the search for you, but they are brilliant and worth every penny!. If you have any problems getting the information email me and I will see what I can do to get you the information, do you still have my email addy!.
Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You could check the records at the local library, but when I wanted to find out about my residence when it was built in the 1800's I went to city hall/town hall and found out that my house was a small gardners cottage on a huge plantation where the servants lived, (it's very small, but cozy and well decorated, gorgeous gardens!)!.

I recommend you check a city or town hall, or the british equivalent if that isn't what they are called out there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The electoral records will list all the other adult voters who lived at the address, you need to contact the local records department!. As far as I know there is not a charge for looking at them if you can get to the record office in person, but I could be wrong, otherwise you have to pay a researcher to look them up for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi
The national census records may help, I think they are online at the national archive website, should come up if you google it, might be worth checking the address still exists (192!.com may help) alot of liverpool city centre has been re-developed in the 80's and onwards!.
Good luck anyhow
Take careWww@QuestionHome@Com

In the county courthouses there are records on the history of a piece of property from when we stole it from the Indians to present day!. I'd start at the County Clerk's office!. I know in Indiana, they call it "an Abstract of Title" A deed sometimes traces ownership too!.!.!.!.all at the courthouse!. Some of the records may be online now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You could always try and find the census closest to those years, or the one before and after to check if the same people lived there!.

Or you could try the electoral role if it was going then try this website www!.findmypast!.comWww@QuestionHome@Com

Hi Leanne,

Its Just Me is right, and it is worth every penny!. I did this in Oxford, and found an Uncle I never knew I had through this way of searching!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You might check the library to see if they have copies of old city directories!.!.!.you should be able to look it up either by the last name or by the address!.

Happy hunting!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
