Census early 1900's address unknown?

[3girls]

Hi, Can anyone assist me with an address located in Penarth?

I have information on a census as 47 Maughan Terrace, Penarth. When I look on google maps, it doesn't actually pin to a property, just the street.

Can someone give me some insight of this address?

Here's Maughan Terrace on a 1956 OS map, with house numbers; but they only go up to 17, are you sure about the 47?

I searched in newspapers for the highest number shown on the map, 17, which I can imagine being misread as 47 in some handwriting, and there are hits starting in 1885. When was the census?

Just noticed the title of your post, so probably the 1901 census.

I did an address search at FindMyPast:Looking at 1901, the numbers go from 1-16 and then 46! Looking at the actual return, this seems to be a misinterpreted annotation, not a house number.

If the family that you are interested in is William and Catherine Jones, then my interpretation is that they are at no. 7.

The information I have is
Doris Catherine Mitchell
DOB 2/2/1906

from memory the census listed her as age 5, not sure exactly what month the census was done?

Just noticed on the map there is a Maughan Lane, could that be it?

There was also a Maughan Street, now Queen’s Road. Move the slider to reveal the modern map:

Oh wow, that is very interesting!

I'm visiting from Australia at the end of the month, so I would like to get a photo of where Doris lived in the early 1900's (if possible/house still there)?

On the 1911 census, the householders schedules go up to no 18 Maughan terrace. Can't find a 5 year old Doris at any of the houses in this street.

Just reading back through some notes I got and it looks like it was Maughan Street, which is now Queens Road as per above, which probably makes more sense!? 

[softly softly]

By 1911 census Doris is with her widowed mother Annie and 2 siblings living at 3 Garth Court Cardiff

The 1901 census has mother Annie and eldest son Joseph (Allan) living with her parents at 27, Dogfield Street, Roath.
