Hi Alan, Thanks for the reply, my John Hunter lived at number 8 Flag Lane for Donkeys years and was a Block & mastmaker by trade. He first appeared as a greengrocer in the 1871 census, it was probably one of those old shops in the front room that there used to be until about thirty/ forty years ago. In the 1891 census he had spread into number nine as well. Mrs Mary Grant who was a 67 year old widow seems to be at number 32 Flag Lane in a couple of rooms (RG12/4143). John died a couple of years later 29/04/1893 and the address was given as number 8 again. Thanks again for your response.
