Hi Gill I used to live where you are talking about - first in Swan Terrace (down from the back of the old Swan Hotel that used to be on High Street) the on the corner of Russell Street/Vicarage Walk. My great-aunt Connie lived on New Street for many years. My mum lodged in "The Gardens" when she was first married and dad was stationed abroad after WW2. They are no longer there but your description of how they were accessed seems right. I have an old map (1901) of the area if that helps, can send a jpg of where "the Gardens" were - and my mum and stepdad will be delighted to explain the layout in more detail you need it! Both their families lived for many years in Vicarage Walk. Do you need to know about anywhere else in Stony?

In regard to the address, that was on an earlier census and I think that the enumerator started on New Street and left that on the page when he went across the road. I have actually been there and found the place and it is closer to being across from the Swan Yard. The Gardens actually back onto a lane that becomes Vicarage Walk but are accessed from Russell Street. I shall eliminate New Street from my address, Gill Smith Haliburton, Ontario. ==== BUCKS Mailing List ==== To view recent downloadable photos of Bucks churches and village scenes, courtesy of Peter and Kevin Quick, visit: http://www.countyviews.com
