The 1911 census has 11 Martins Lane as Lilac Bank Cottage, it had at that time, 10 rooms not counting the Bathroom or lobby.

Below, info from AtoZ of Wallasey Buildings.

God help us,
Come yourself,

I think they've mis-quoted the info re: the date stone. Pretty sure it was J and E under the letter D, not L and E, although the letters I and J were often interchangeable back then.

Most likely John & Elizabeth 'D', whatever the surname was. Couldn't say for sure though.
