Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

I would be grateful if anyone could look up a possible directory entry for a 'Miss Daglish' who in November 1916 was at 3 Park Avenue, Southport when advertising in a newspaper.
I would like to know he fist name, or initials at least. No sign of her in the 1911 census.

Not sure whether Southport is covered by the Liverpool directories. I've just been asked for a favour by a Southport member, I will ask for a reciprocal favour although it mightn't be for a few days.

Here's an ad from a Welsh newspaper on 15 December 1916:

"Wanted, after Christmas, thoroughly good Plain Cook and Housemaid Waitress; Protestants; both strong and over 30; two ladies in family - good references - Apply, in writing, giving full particulars, to Miss Daglish, Ingleton, 33 Park-road, Southport"

Would this be the same Miss Daglish?

I had a look in the 1914/15 Southport Directory this afternoon. There is a Miss M H Dagleish listed at 3 Park Ave.

I wondered if she could be the Margaret Helen Daglish born in Wigan in 1858 ish and living in Orrell in 1911 listed as Daglish. She appears to have died in Teignmouth Devon in 1928. She's listed in the Probate Index.

There is a James Dagleish listed in the same directory so they might be related.

PS Park Road is just round the corner from Park Ave. I'll try a later directory next time.

Many thanks, all three of you. I think you have cracked it, as my copying from that Welsh advert was faulty, probably done too late in the evening.
The surname is often misspelled, but should be Daglish, and Margaret Helen was at Orrell before she died in Devon in 1928. I had a gap in between but can now fill it in.

Thanks again
Daggers (yes, a nickname!)

Daggers,

Are you aware of this?
3rd paragraph,

Thank you, Bert for that link. I was aware of the gift of windows but have never seen them, the church being closed when I visited, and I never made it on a Sunday.
It is good to see the pictures which I did not know were on that hidden part of Lancs OPC.

Good results, thanks Hilary for the reciprocal favour - Speckled Jim is on his way this morning.

The 1912 directory has Miss M Daglish at 3 Park Ave

The 1920/21 directory has her at 33 Park Road

She isn't in the 1924/5 directory

Hilary
Thanks again for the looking-up. I have found that Margaret must have moved from one address to the other in December 1916, as the newspaper advert found by Alison C was repeated a few times, and the later inserts were from the Park Road address.
