If they are from the series of census indexes that I think they come from, the next step is to lookup the reference numbers in the back of the book and it will tell you not only the name of the street but also everyone residing at that address, whether Talbots or not. If you are in contact with the original person who looked up the index, they should be able to take the next step for you. These indexes are very complete. Unfortunately I don't have access to volume 3 or I would look it up for you Catherine
