Scotty101 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi all, I have traced some family to Primrose Villas in Liverpool from the 1871 census and Worrals Directory of Warrington of the same year. I know Liverpool road has changed a lot but even from the old maps I can not find out where these were located. It looks from the census that there were a number of families living in the Villas at the time. Can anyone shed any light on where abouts they were and if they are still standing. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Scotty, I have had a good search of old map and records and I'm afraid I can't find any information on 'Primrose Villa's' however I shall keep an eye open and if I find anything I shall get in touch.

Dizzy Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Sorry but I am confused (doesn't take much to confuse me) Scotty101... where you say you found Primrose Villas in 'Liverpool' on the 1871 census and Worrals Directory of Warrington.... did you mean Liverpool Road (in Warrington) as you then go on to mention that road later or did you mean Liverpool as it reads ? Probably asking the blindingly obvious there but thought I'd ask before I have a look. If Algy hasn't managed to find it though I very much doubt that I will be able to find anything as he is a wizz when it comes to finding these sorts of things from old maps and records.

algy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Like you Dizz I assumed Scotty was referring to Liverpool Rd Warrington ad that is where I have been searching!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty101 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sorry Algy / Dizzy, I can confuse myself sometimes Yes I did mean Primrose Villas on Liverpool Road, Warrington. I think a bit more reading at the library may be required to see if they have anything. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty, Slaters 1895 Directory gave Rose Villas on Liverpool Rd, that gave me the clue that Primrose Villas may be close by and there it was on the 1890 Town map at the bottom of Thewlis St. I have marked it on both maps below.

Scotty101 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Outstanding Algy, Thank you so much. I had looked at old maps, but not the ones from those years, hence I could not find them. Who needs the world wide web, wickipedia, etc when we have Algy and so much knowledge on this site. We are very lucky and I thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
