The steel family

Thanks to Jane for a potted history of her cowkeeping ancestors, the Steel family. Below is the information Jane has so far. If anyone can add to this, all contributions will be gratefully received.

George Steel (senior) seemed to begin the family dairy business at 1 Northcote Road, Walton on the Hill ( 1881 census). He  had 3 sons: Thomas, George (junior) and Lancelot. By 1901 he was living on his own means, back home in Kirkby Stephen

Thomas Steel: by 1884 Thomas is married and working as a cowkeeper at 14 Morpeth Street. In the 1891 Census he is at 12 Stuart Road, Walton on the Hill, with a milk shop and sweet shop as well. By 1901, he is living on his own means in Windermere.

George Steel (junior): in the 1891 Census he is at 1 Newcombe Street and by 1901 is back in Kirkby Stephen as a retired cowkeeper.

Lancelot Steel: the 1891 Census and 1911 censuses show Lancelot at 31 Westcott Road, Anfield, where there was also a shop for provisions. In 1901 he is at 22 Rugby Road, Netherton, as a cowkeeper. His daughter Clara managed a dairy at 131 Buck Road. His son, Thomas Wharton Steel, worked with Clara at Buck Road in 1901 and by 1911 was back at the Westcott Road dairy.

Hi,
My husband owns a building in Chester Rd, Tuebrook L6.
He was told when he bought it that it was an old dairy. Would anybody know if there is a record of this building and it’s history or where I might find any information. Bit of a long shot, but I’d love to know.
Many thanks.

Hello Ken. Would that have been 16 Aigburth Vale? That property has a long history as a dairy. Back in the 1920s it was owned by Matthew Braithwaite, then more recently (1950s/60s) by Archer & Summerscales.
