Hi again Bill, It seems strange that your brother is "walking" the streets of 1861 Heywood from far across the world. The addresses I sent you, taken from the grave record, are all within a few hundred yards of the census address he has found .------- Mary Rhodes /54 /wife of William/ died at 2 Bank Top St Heap. William Rhodes /71 /weaver / died at 27 Peel Lane Heap. Betsy Bannister nee Rhodes/ 56/ died at 21 Nellie St Heywood. Granville Bannister died at 21 Nellie St Heywood. Lovely to hear you are making progress. Kind regards.
