Hello Alan, Principle Street merely means it is the main street of the village, and the roads in many villages were unnamed at this time - there was no need to because everyone knew each other. The only way to distinguish where your BUTCHERs live is to trace the census entries in order and link them up to known 'landmarks' like pubs, the church, the school (if it was built as early as that) etc and try to work out what path the Enumerator took. To help you there is a remarkable map of Whaddon dated the 1790's which shows all the buildings, drawn flattened out on either side of the road and named with their occupants - you can get a copy of this map from Eve McLaughlin of the Bucks Genealogical Society ( eve@varneys.demon.co.uk ) - maybe, just maybe, the BUTCHERs were already in Whaddon at that time. I have recently abstracted details of all the BUTCHERs I can find of Whaddon and Thornborough for another researcher, would you like a copy? They are Word documents of 25KB, 26KB and 306KB. I hope this helps.
