Pat I am not quite sure if that part of Hotwells Road is in Clifton but the Bristol Reference Library (not the Bristol Records Office) holds copies of most editions of the weekly Clifton Chronicle and Directory from 1852 onwards. Each week it contained a list of residential addresses in Clifton together with the names ( usually surname / initial) of the principal adult occupants - there was also an index to the names. The Library website might tell you if this newspaper still existed after 1900. If not I suggest phoning them. They may also be able to tell you whether the Hotwells Rd address you are interested in is listed. They might even be willing to look up your address in a few specific editions of the Chronocle and Directory to see who is living there. I have found these listings very useful when researching pre-1900 Clifton residents.

I have hit a brick wall. If anyone would like to make suggestions for further clues, please read on. Information from Census.1901 @ 249 Hotwells Rd Bristol
