Hi,
Little more on 101.
101 Old Christchurch Rd. formed part of the ‘Dalkeith Buildings’ built in 1893,
 At the lower western end, toward the Square, believed at No 87, was the Dalkeith Hotel.
Pictures give a flavour of the road around the turn of the century. 101 would be up the hill but just out of shot.

Hello,
May still be of interest, Ground level of 101 is now basically a shop, at the moment YOU HOME, the upper stories are flats. 101 was one of a very nice terrace, I guess Victorian, as shown.
Regards.

Thank you again Carole W.
It would seem that there is no Sinsbury blood flowing in this branch of the family tree,
Whatever his beginnings John Read must have been quite some man, even at 62 in the 1901 census his household is still caring for May a niece 5yrs old. If my great-aunt Bessie was a typical sibling of the family he made a pretty good job with their upbringing.
Your & others time and effort very much appreciated and thanks for your summary.
Regards.

Hello CaroleW
I have found a dedication to a William George Read who was killed in France 1917 32yrs old, son of Mrs A Sinsbury of 3 Spicer St Christchurch.
I would like to think that John Read in his census return 1891 has indicated that Bessie was indeed a Sinsbury along with her full brother Fred.
Now trying to find John,s wife and when she died. Any help, thoughts welcome.
Regards.

Thank you both very much for your interest,
I’m not sure how common these illegitimate children were, but we do seem to have quite a few in various branches of the family tree!
Your attached photo’s are brilliant, I recall seeing the piles of debris left from the demolishment of Pound Lane, they were very poor buildings indeed, I think they were mainly Cob & Mud type construction.
Bessie’s given address was 3 Spicer St. I wonder if we may be looking at the actual house.
Thank you both very much.
