The easiest way is to take the Downtown 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line) from 34th Street (Penn Station) to 23rd Street. It's only two stops. You'll exit on 23rd Street and 7th Avenue, on the west side of the street (the west side of the street is the Downtown side, and the east side is the Uptown side).

What subway do you take from Grand Central Station to the American Girl store?

The subway doesn't go to the Statue of Liberty.

Your best option is probably to head south and east to the corner of 7th avenue and 48th street, where you can take the R train south to Whitehall Street. Castle Clinton (where you can get on a ferry to go to Liberty Island) is about 3 blocks east from there, though you'll have to walk a little further than that because there's not a straight path to the castle.

Google Maps will give an actual map; I'd recommend using that.

May be more than one route. The obvious is via London but are there any services via, e.g. Poole / Bournemouth or Bristol that may be quicker or more convenient?

You should be able to work it out from the National Rail Enquiries & similar web-sites, as with (your?) other question about Weymouth - London fare, but even finding Upwey to Wool details proved an exercise in Advanced IT!

If you don't mind long bus journeys & the times are right for you I believe there is a National Express Weymouth - Blackpool service that if it doesn't go via Liverpool may drop you at a convenient bus-station in the area.
