In the following 1851 Wallingford Census entry:- Fish Street, Wallingford St Mary-Le-More, Wallingford HO107 piece 1690 folio 270 page 14 a Richard (b1807 Burford,Oxon) & Charlotte HARRIS are listed with their family. I had previously been told that Fish St was mainly lined with shops and that anyone living there would probably have lived above them. However, looking at this census entry, it does not look like many of the schedules are for shops. I was also told there might be more than one family living in the same place and again, if I am reading the census correctly, it looks like there is one family per house/shop. Am I interpreting the census entry correctly and is there any way to find exactly which house/shop Rd & Charlotte were living in? Thanks
Fish Street is now called St Mary's Street. In 1851, as now, it would have been occupied mostly by shops and most of the dwellings would probably have been above these shops. Do you know the number of the house?
