He was still there in 1923. Thank you so much for checking.  Once again you are "Johnny on the spot". :-) :-) This is REALLY strange.  I can't imagine what a 12 year old orphaned girl would be doing having an OFFICIAL residence at a home where not a single surname of the occupants has thus far ANY affiliation with my family.  That also raises the question as to where was my younger mother, and her even younger brother? I was unaware that the library holds these directories.  Do they have an on line presence?  Will they do lookups?  For a fee? Do you happen to know the year span of the directories?  Do they cover the entirety of Thanet? As you know, I have many Piggott and Strevens ancestors that resided in Thanet in the early Twentieth Century.
