I notice that Kelvin road is quite near > the docks. The Kelvin Road that runs down to the docks is Kelvin Road, WALLASEY. (sometimes referred to as Kelvin Road, Seacombe). Kelvin Road, BIRKENHEAD is in Tranmere off Holt Road, near Mersey Park and is a short road that consisted of a school and Methodist Chapel on one side, and a few houses and another school on the other. There has been some changes in recent years as both the schools and chapel have now gone replaced by what looks like houses and open space. Googling "8 kelvin road birkenhead" indicates it was a house for sale for 19,000 GDP in 2001 so there is a reasonable chance it's still there. If someone can do a look up in a diectory for around that time then the occupants name may help. Andy
