Who lived at ...?

Hi Gadget

Yes certainly, where is the ED Header?

I picked an occupation at random and found the same chap in 1891 census, Frederick Ayton

RG13/4844/122/7

Bringing up loads of even numbers for High Street, just having a look to see which street it leads onto.

High Street, Berwick is now Marygate.

According to the Postcode finder on Royal Mail, there is no such place as High Street, Berwick upon Tweed 

I don't see it on Multimap either - could it be the continuation of Castlegate/Marygate on the A1167 which is the main thoroughfare, parallel to the river.

Or it could be High Greens.

So it is the A1167 then - but was it Marygate in 1891?

Added - look for Marygate and Castlegate, evie

Hi jora

What's confusing me is that in 1881 and 1911 there was also a Marygate

In 1901 after High Street was the town hall then Crawford's alley, if that is of any help

67 Marygate was occupied by a Mr Gunn the Grocer in 1891:

RG12/4267 F 74 P 1


I'm a bit busy at the mnoment - could someone transcribe just in case, please  - it's a big family

Well, what a lot has gone on while I've been offline! Thanks, everyone, for your efforts so far. The addresses actually came from the 1894 Directory of Northumberland, so I know who ran the shops in that year (Gadget and Jora, you may remember a certain Italian lady?). 1891, though, is a bit on the crucial side for events in my family. Knowing who was at those addresses then tells me an awful lot (or, as it may turn out, knowing who was NOT at those addresses).

Anyway, knowing now that the Walkergate premises was a pawnbrokers/drapers transfers attention to the High Street/Marygate address - and if that one turns out to be a confectioner/ice cream maker, it's Bingo time. If it doesn't, I have a fair bit of rethinking to do

Mike - do you have the name of the ice cream/confectioner - it might help because it obviously wasn't Mr Gunn the Grocer
