Not quite sure what you mean Merry - names of others who lived at 18? The photos have dates of 1909 …1913 on them and several seem to be of apossibly a Maid - others have more ‘gentrified’ people - so I think that’s why he asked for the 1911 census… although from 1909-13 the house could well have changed hands

Yes, names of others who lived there. I'm doubtful that CS actually lived there as most of the records show number 13.
Unfortunately there's no erolls for the time frame you mention that include anything on number 18. I also tried the newspapers on FMP, to no avail. Also the various directories on Ancestry.

I say that because it doesn't seem to have existed, not 1939 register, not 1954 electoral rolls and can't find it in 1901 number 18 is being very elusive. Last edited by maggie_4_7; 16-10-21 at 14:04. |

Yes Maggie… all the photos are of people in a garden and on some photos it says wording like ‘in the garden of 18 Alex. The photos/some negatives - were found in another local house.
Alexandra Rd is largely made up of large Victorian houses and they would probably have been owned by local businessmen or local dignitaries, and servants. On Google, no.18, as it was, has obviously been demolished and there’s now a modern semi-Det. but many of the original houses are still there. So (I suspect) the road may have been put together over a period of years, and houses re-numbered over a period of time.

On the 1911 census unless those pages are missing it jumps from 16 to 22 it looks like 18 and 20 didn't exist.

Very strange indeed. The house that’s there now looks 1970/1980s build. It’s not a road I go along often, but the immediate impression is always of large Victorian properties. The current house could well be an in-fill from one, or maybe two other old properties which occupied a large piece of land…. And the houses were re-numbered in the process.

On 1901 it isn't there 17, 19, 21, 22 and 23 so you may be right its been renumbered and who ever wrote on those photographs probably put the number that is was when they wrote it not realising although it was the same house it was a different number when the photographs were taken.
