Could you tell me whether Lawrence Lane, Tory Street and Waterfall Lane are close enough to each other for David to have potentially used St Paul's for some of the other children? He lived in Lawrence Lane until some point after 1871, then Tory Street, then Halesowen Road, Tory Street. I cannot find Tory Street but I have seen it on official documents as Tory Street, Waterfall Lane, are they the same road or did Tory Street used to be off Waterfall Lane? My cousin's family history writing is quite detailed, it would be good to know whether the family moved to Waterfall Lane then back to Tory Street or just had the address of their abode changed.
For information I also sent for David Manger's Death certificate and think his date of birth is 1837 not 1838. He was 74 not 73 when he died and I am unable to find the Birth Certificate so think he might have been born before 1st July 1837. The Certificate says David died 3rd December 1911 age 74 years. He was a retired Tube Worker. The cause of death was Senectus,, Certified by A.D. McQueen M.B. The informant was Rachel Whitehouse, Daughter. Present at the death 29 Beaumont Road Blackheath. Registered 5th December 1911. 29 Beaumont Road was Rachel's residence.
Apart from my query about the location of the roads (I have never been to the area) and amending David's information I am happy for the topic to be archived.
