In the 1880s, that Exeter Place section was a 'red light' district. 

This might be the only connection  :( between Edward and a birth with congenital syphilis
   Yes, exactly, which is why I'm anxious to discover who else was in the house at 20 exeter place.

This should bring up part 1 of 1880.

This time I was looking for Exeter Place.  It is at page 33 of that pdf and that corresponds with Sands page no, 67.

20 Exeter Place,. occupant listed as Frederick SCHMIDT....  that's a surname that rings bells...

20 Exeter Place in 1882 Sands ....  ;D it was vacant...

http://cdn.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/learn/history/archives/sands/1880-1889/1882-part1.pdf    and at Sands page 46 and pdf page 35

So in October 1881 the place was vacant...  ;)

 :)  1882  Sands part 5
http://cdn.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/learn/history/archives/sands/1880-1889/1882-part5.pdf  pdf page 19,  Sands page  442

E T FOLEY lessee, Outer Domain. 

loads of others with that surname, none at 20 Exeter Place.    There's Police Sergeant Stephen FOLEY at 18 Railway Place .... yes, that's down that end of the CBD too.   :) 

(I have one of my NSW lines focused on George Street West in that era.... so that's the street that starts down The Rocks, and goes all the way to Parramatta .... Lower George St, then George St, then George St West, then Broadway, then Parramatta Street, etc .... ie the 'main' street of Sydney., that ancestor was excellent at hoarding family papers ...  ::)  ::)  ::) )
