There are two Thomas Strettles in West Derby in 1911.

A Thomas David Strettle born about 1897, parents Abraham and Mary Lily, and siblings, living at 45 Byford Street. This 14 year old was crossed through. The parents had been married 16 years, had 7 children, 6 of them still surviving, one deceased. Including Thomas D, there were 6 children at home. Checking back to the 1901 census there was an additional child, Margaret M, a year older than Thomas. I can find a match for this Margaret Mary as a servant in the 1911 census, so I can only assume that the death entry for Thomas Strettle, age 14 in Q1 1911 Liverpool is this child.

The other one born about 1892, living at 9 Botanic Grove, Edge Hill has parents William Robert 47, a Stereotype in a General Printers and Martha Jane 45, plus children Thomas 19 a joiner, Eadith 17 dressmaker, Amy 15 dressmaker, Harry 13 school, Robert 10 school and Frederick 7, all born Liverpool.

I believe this second entry must be him.
