Can someone look this up in the 1881 census please from the 1878 post office directory
Jacksons hotel, Evander Godwin, Oxton road, Birkenhead and if it has a street number also while looking at click I noticed there was a Wirral Hospital (children) and wondered when it disappeared co-ordinates 331450 by 388400
The 1881 Census shows this person as a licensed victualler living at 25 Lord Street, Birkenhead (Argyle Ward)??? In brackets under the address is "Mersey Hotel" ???
The original Wirral Children's Hospital was established in what had originally been a private house at 25 Oxton Road. It closed in June 1883 after the new Children's Hospital in Woodchurch Road was opened by the Duke of Westminster, and was subsequently sold for £1,075. To judge from later maps it looks as though the house was converted into business premises in the usual way, by building a new extension onto the front, but was later demolished to make way for Rostances store.

Whoops, my mistake! No 25 wasn't where Rostances was later built, but on the next block up, where the Casino is now.
