Hello Jane, that was a wonderful response, the picture was a bonus, the map was like adding icing to the cake. Many many thanks, I really do appreciate this. Now I see this and compare it to that which is written on the birth record it is the correct street name. I wonder if its possible that someone might locate them at this address in the 1871 census? Kind regards and all my best in your own search.
