House Name or Number

In a proportion of cases, the address that has been recorded for the person who was buried includes a house name or number.  There are many instances however where only the Street has been recorded.

Certain numbered addresses are significant.  For example there are a large number of records where the address is given as 12a Newbold Road.  This designation was used to disguise the fact that these premises were actually The Workhouse! For a period of time 36 Clarence Road was Nurse Whetter’s private maternity home with 12 beds.
