try
find my past you can check the street by town or village by the census year
put in the street then the house no come up
idont think it is possible in the 1911 census but the inf would be the close period to 1915 and is very good worth the extra money
regards vic hill good luck

thank you tempest for all your work,the longfellow st one really throws a spanner in the works(my auntie lived in longfellow st in the 60s) i wonder if 17 beaconfield st was a lodging house of something like that?i cant understand how she kept her baby with no father and not being able to work.i did trace her birth to scotland and her parents names as andrew and annie but i may have been looking at the wrong family.thanks againx

Coming in a bit late on this one! Susanne is Ella ....Isabella? If she is the daughter of Andrew & Annie and born circa 1898 Scotland, could this be her in 1911 after the death of her parents.

In 1901 at 17 Beaconsfield liveed a couple called Smith, both born Scotland.

Also it may be worth contacting Liverpool record office re the workhouse records.......after the birth of her son.......she may have not been an inmate, but she may have been an "outmate" meaning she would perhaps have received food etc on a weekly basis, and there may have been personal info regarding her situation.
