Hello again Allan

I have just this minute - since sending last message - received a copy of a mail sent to my distant "Rossi Cousin" in America by another cousin.  Here is what it says :

Interestingly in 1914 there was a Miss Clifford living in "Rossi", 
> Browning Road, Worthing (close to Tarring). The attached list of 
> houses in sequence could enable you to see which house using 
> multimap's birds-eye view. Rossi is fourth on the right from Heene 
> Road.

There is an attachment with the mail from the Worthing and District Directory 1914 - 1915. According to the list she is next to a house called "Green Stede".

What do you think?  Is there some sort of muddle up in the addresses? Or did she move from  Browning Road to High Street?
 

Interesting!!

Me again!!

I have just had a flash of inspiration!!  Looking at the list of names of people living in the same road as Ada, her neighbour  is a Mrs B Rope who lives in a house called "Epor".  I thought this seemed familiar - and have just checked - this is in fact her widowed sister, Blanche, who is at this address in the 1911 census!

Hi
Browning Road is a fair walk from High Street and I wonder if she named all her houses Rossi.  I know Browning Road so can easily check and photograph that house.
Are Green Stede and Epor both in Browning?

Hello Allan

Green Stede and Epor (Blanche Rope (née Clifford's) house) are either side of Rossi.

PM on its way!

Up to the mid 1930s and before the Rectory Road by-pass was built,  High Street ,West Tarring ran from Church Road to the Thomasa'Becket (Littlehampton Road/Poulters lane junction)
and the  northern half was probably re-named Rectory Road post 1945.
