Looks like a handy site Derek. Thanks.

bit confused here
Mounsey Road, Egerton Park, Wirral?
where is/was Egerton Park? in Tranmere?

Egerton Park is off Bebington rd, opposite Cavendish dr/ Hesketh Ave

Possibly it originally came under Prenton and Egerton ward boundary and they made a mistake saying park

and election maps click

1888,map
Egerton Park was in the Egerton Ward, Mounsey rd was Clifton ward.

The site refuses to find me, despite my road being clearly on the map. I've searched using the exact wording given on the map as well as variations, but it gives "no results". I can only conclude that I am so important to the security services that they don't want anyone to find me.

I used an asterix after the streets/road first name
church* road
and that worked

Thanks for the tip. I tried entering the street name + asterisk and instead of coming up with "no result" it gave me two streets in different parts of the country but not mine. I wouldn't mind, but my street is on the map and named, so why can't the system find it?

Stupid system. It says that, although it's not case sensitive, it is punctuation sensitive. My address has an apostrophe in it: if I use the apostrophe, the system doesn't find it but if I omit the apostrophe (incorrectly), it finds it.
