I noticed reading the information that the 1911 census shows the Priest family as living at 43 Terrace Street. Jacob Billingham was living in Terrace Street then but no number shows on the census and he owned some of the houses - is there any way of finding if they were neighbours - Sophia Billingham was originally Preece but it sometimes appears on records as Priest - perhaps there's a connection.

Hi Frodo, Just been having a look ....Schedule 22 is Albert Priest and Schedule 24 is Jacob Billingham. Living about 16 houses apart from each other.

Thanks for that RF

Looks like it's probably a coincidence although you never know - I have no documentation just information passed down through the generations, some photos and information found on the Census. The photo of Jacob and Sophia Billingham in the gallery may well be taken on Terrace Street.

I've added a note to BCC Frodo so .....

Completed with thanks
