Hi Judy (from the) General Instruction to the Enumerator (1851) 3. Under the name of the last entered person in each house draw a strong DOUBLE line, as in the example on the opposite page, to separate the inmates from those of the house next following; and where there is more than one occupier in the same house, draw a single line to distinguish each family, as in the example. - [Note.-A Lodger, with or without a family, is to be considered an occupier.] Some enumerators had their own interpretation of those rules, some used a double line across the first three columns, other just a short double as in your example The number 7 is the schedule number, no house numbers were recorded (not unusual even if there were any they were often missed off) The CADBURY (schedule 7) & ELKINGTON (schedule 8) families are in separate houses presumably next door to each other The header page for that section describes "All that part of the Parish of Edgebaston" and "The Western side of Calthorpe Street" In case it helps to locate the property Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi, > > I am trying to identify two families who both seem to be living in the > same > address in 1850.

Hi Judy According to Carl Chinn in "The Streets of Brum - Part 2": "In 1870, the word street was mostly expunged from Edgbaston when Calthorpe Street, Frederick Street and George Street were renamed Calthorpe Road, Frederick Road and George Road" I live in an (almost) adjoining road, so tomorrow or Wednesday I will have a walk down there. If I can work out which is the western side of Calthorpe Road, there is a chance I might find the property; there is a chance that it could still be there. However, at the end of the road nearest town there has been redeveloped I recent times! Even where old houses remain, I'm not sure that they are old enough to be the ones from the 1851 census. Any chance it could have a blue plaque? There is a blue plaque for a Cadbury (though I can't remember which one) in a neighbouring road.
