I know that she lived over a stable close to were the Royal hospital is with her Grandaughter Florence who helped out in the shop. I think it may have been close by.

she's gone out but I'll try and catch her when she's back. Any idea of the road? Sometimes local books of the area contain photographs or Liverpool Record office may hold photogrpahs of the area.

1940's, Vauxhall, city centre area. Any scousers remember any? I found out my great gran had one but don't know what it was called. She was Annie Rainford nee Griffiths. Apparently she refused to tell her grandkids where it was or take them there, very strange indeed.
