I think the first might be MERRELLS something.

Apparently Merrell and Bayliss was a Tewksbury brewer.

If you give us the census reference or name & year, it makes it easier to look for these.

In the meantime...

The other one is 1851 Delia Pitts (born abt 1786)

The District Description for the first one reads

All that part of the Parish of Tewkesbury which comprises the East side of the High Street - including all the Alleys, Lanes and Courts with the houses at the back facing the Oldbury - commencing at the Borough Gaol and finishing at the house occupied by Charles Neale
