Can someone please tell me where is the dividing line for the district of West Derby, Lancashire on a BMD as oppose to Liverpool. The rellies I am researching are from the Kirkby area which is West Derby but then some of them moved to Bootle. I have found two people, one of which could be mine, but one is West Derby and one Liverpool. Kathlyn
