Hi, Cliff,
The dates you are looking at are not good for research, too recent for there to be much on Ancestry or online, hopefully descendants of the family will see this and get in touch and help.
You probably will know this information, the 12 children were registered in Birkenhead between 1927 and 1939, yourself I think being the last.
Peter and Dorothy were married 1925, Our Lady St Nicholas St Anne, Liverpool.
Beaufort St is Liverpool, Birkenhead has Beaufort Rd and had, Beaufort Square, now demolished.
Beaufort Square more likely I think. Beaufort Sq does not show in the 1938 directory, not sure the exact date of it being built.

I can't find anything on 155 Beaufort Rd, directories up to 1938, not suggesting it didn't exist, may have been built after the 1938, which would have been compiled in 1937.
Beaufort Square doesn't show in the 1938 directory, however, Leslie Jones, son of Mr&Mrs Henry F Jones was killed at 32 Beaufort Sq, 21 December, 1940 in the bombing raids. Not suggesting he was related.
Perhaps 155 Beaufort Rd was built about the same time as Beaufort Square, between 1938 and 1940.
Was 155 the house your father was pulled out of the rubble?

Hi Cliff, just noticed your post. The "Britain from Above" website shows a good view of the entire length of Beaufort Road in 1946.(You need to register free to use the enlarge tools). If you type Gilbrook basin into the search area a couple of photo's will come up. Both also show Beaufort Square, as mentioned by Bert. One of the photo's shows clearly an end flat which appears to have been renovated with different roofing and brickwork. Possibly this was damaged in the war, as Laird Street Bus Depot, immediately behind Beaufort Square was hit and could be, again, the incident Bert refers to where there were fatalities. Hope you have success in your search for family History.
