I recently obtained my grandparents marriage certificate for 1902. From that they were then living next door to each other (one at 44, the other at 46) in Liverpool but the actual street name I cannot decipher. Elizabeth Perry born April 1880 and John Unwin born 1877 in Liverpool. His father was Lewis born 1844. Siblings Josephine, Mary & Victoria might have still been at home in 1901. Her mother was Harriett but father deceased before 1901. A younger sibling of Elizabeth was Margaret born 1883, I'm hoping that the census info might help with an address. Thank you if you can help.

Hi Andrew. That's my Elizabeth. Is the street name show please?
Hi Catherine, John had a sister Mary Ellen but I'd believed she was born about 1879 in Ireland and married a Harry Page so not sure this fits..

Sorry but lunch arrived before I saw all the responses! This info is great and Sterne St fits. The Kings are my relatives and I knew some of the info shown. I didn't have the occupations show for Elizabeth's family so very interesting.
Thanks to you all for your help.

I think you could be right about an address of convenience Jacqueline!
Catherine - Annin must be Unwin as everything else fits.
