Hi Ricky,
Yes, my fault The street is numbered with the even numbers on one side and odd numbers on the other. I have not found the odd numbers yet

Stan

The one on the 1891 census wasnt run in sequence, was somewhere else

ricky

In the 1891 census on page 32 the numbers do run in sequence from 13 at the top of the page to 4 at the bottom.


Stan

Hi Stan
If you look on the page before you will see they dont run in sequence, suggest you look next time.

ricky

I don't know what you mean THe numbers on the page clearly run in the sequence 13, 12, 11, 10, 9A, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4.
I suggest that you look next time

Hi Stan

The page before

In the 1901 Census at 11 Kyme Street,
Charles Pearson, Signalman, Percy Pearson, son, and Rose L. Pearson daughter, RG13 piece 4443 folio 21 page 33.
Care needs to be taken as sometimes streets were renumbered over time.

One of the commonest renumbering patterns was of a street which began with being numbered along one side and then along the other being changed to odd numbers along one side, and even numbers along the other.

Hi Lee
Wonder how long the street has been there as on the 1871 census, I can find the streets around the area, but not Kyme Street . Also on the 1891 there is an Upper Kyme street, which I think starts at the end of Kyme Street.

Hi chaps,

Thanks so much for the answers, much appreciated.

It's strange that there's no reference to the yard or workshop (or an associated professopn) that we've been told existed here, perhaps it was a house, then modified to a flat/workshop/yard sometime after the 1901 census?

Or, maybe if the street renumbering has messed things up . . . .

Think i need to get myself down to the York archives.

Hi Ricky,

Just delved into some books I  have;

The Western end of Kyme Street is built c1867-76 and the eastern end c1882-89. I guess i'm on the more western portion.

Another interesting passage is the description of our row of houses;

"there are workshops, a terrace of houses similar to those of Hampden Street, another small workshop and . . . "
I think we could be the small workshop! 

Is this the sort of stuff the local archives could help me out with?

Cheers,

Lee
