Empty land on south Liverpool street where Hitler family lived before WWI

Adolf Hitler's half brother lived with his family in a south Liverpool flat in the years before WWI.

Alois Jr reportedly had a troubled childhood and after time in prison moved to Ireland. He met Bridget Elizabeth Dowling in 1909 at the Dublin Horse Show and soon after the pair eloped to London where they married.

Alois' 1911 census showed the then 28-year-old was living with Bridget and his son at 102 Upper Stanhope Street, Toxteth, in a three-bed flat. Alois recorded a different name on the handwritten census return, Anton, while Bridget also went under a different name - Cissie Hitler.
