Shirley, I suggest you start with KELLY's street directory for Dorset .... It came out every year until about 1975 ... it lists all inhabitants by name and address and also by street name and each person by house number in each street/road ... there will be copies for 1940-50 in the library in Dorchester and also in the Dorset History centre ..... hope this helps ... Peter Hammett PS .... Perhaps some one could do a lookup if you cannot get to Dorchester .. l
