Not terribly sure but think the end could be coke but then what's the h on the end?

I did at one stage get

32 B_lidicoke sh which is ridiculous

Would it be worth looking for parents in 1911 to see if it's the same address?

Hi Ann, Looking at it ,it may well be Pembroke Place, all I have managed is,the no 32,and that is squinting at it from all angles. John,s father, Paul is dead, drowned 1886,same year he was born,also grandfather Paul, 1844 , again drowned same year he was born and I think also his Mother Mary Ann, born 1858,died ,I am unsure about his Sister Ann Eliza born 1881,Liverpool, surviving childhood, it,s a very sad branch of this family. There are two John Lawson,s born more or less the same time in Liverpool and am hoping this John is mine and survived childhood, maybe this address will give me a clue.
Thanks ever so much for your time and help.

Looks like 326 *adwake or *adwoke st. The first letter is obscured by the 6.

In 1881 Paul and Mary Ann are in Pembroke Place so that's a possibility. Do you have the family in 1891 and 1901? When and where did Mary Ann die?

What's that written above Lawson in pencil it looks like Groy something? Did Mary remarry and John had 2 surnames?

He didn't join the ship with the unintelligible address however found a few more addresses

At Eliza's baptism the family were at Pembroke Place

At John's baptism born 2 Dec 1885 baptised 1 Feb 1886 at St Peter they were at Kent St

1907 crew list 46 Barlow St

1910 crew list 92 Walton Rd
1910 crew list 192b Walton Rd

That extra surname looks like Grogan to me.

Also it looks like he did not join the ship that he had signed on for.

I saw the extra name as Grogan....I checked 1911 and there's a family Lawson in Pembroke place but from Darlington however near the bottom is John Lawson..rg 14 453 1 Abercrombie ....maybe barking up the wrong tree here ???

Many thank,s everyone for all your hard work and time.I am thinking this may not be my John Lawson at all.Just seen the other John Lawson in 1911 , occupation Sailor,with his mother Frances Lawson,age 44,15,Corless Street ,Everton.
Looks like back to the drawing board for me trying to find my John Lawson.
This brick wall I am sure will come down but when.............
Once again many many thanks Tsumi.
