I've just looked for Bray/Dray/Gray Lane in the 1861 census.....no results. :(
There's a Drury Lane in the parish of St Mary le Strand. ???

In 1851 a William Higginbottom, hairdresser, is living at 90 Drury Lane, Parish of St Mary le Strand.
He has a son, Thomas, who is also a hairdresser.

JenB, accept what you have found of course,but that first capital did not look like D...to me it has no definite vertical down stroke for the back of the D. ;D
Good that's solved for Reggie.

The 'vertical' is in the middle, I think. The left-hand bit of the letter is a rather extravagent loop.

Thanks for the replies.
Drury looks the go. I thought it may have been Drury as I did have it somewhere in my notes.
very quick repsonses.
Thanks a lot.
