Title: 1871 Census Wolverhampton Address help needed
Post by: gmerrall on Wednesday 20 August 08 12:25 BST (UK)

Looked up the 1871 census for relative and I can't make out what's written as the address. findmypast lists it as Dudley Road but the image is clearly not that although the street name prior to this entry is indeed Dudley Road.

What's interesting is that there's 2 pages with exactly the same location so whatever it is, it's big. I just don't know enough local info and can't interpret the writing here to guess what's written.

Hoping someone can help.

Cheers,
 Graeme

it reads "continued" (as opposed to "ditto")

so its the same road as the previous page
