I wonder if I have explained clearly, that is in the period 1905 to 1910 I need to find out who lived there? I believe in 1901 the family would have been elsewhere. Sometime before 1907 ( or after but before 1911) I know my grandmother was in India as a domestic. I am certain that she was at 16 Church St. in the first half of 1907 but for how long was anyone's guess. Most likely her timing is problematic, being between census dates and directories? Sigh.f you didn’t want to pay for the 1901 census images Trish mentioned just try to latch onto Church Street in Ancestry 1901 possibly by picking up some more findable names of 1881 Church Street residents from Ancestry or even LDS. It doesn’t seem to be much of a street but the higher numbers appear to be unnumbered (if that makes sense). Most of the occupants look to be non military.
From what I can tell from a map, Church St. was tiny & out of the way, while Church Lane was a major thoroughfare.In the Aldershot pages there are heaps in Church Lane only about one with a number, about one in Church Street again no number, a couple in Church Road one of which had a number around 52. All very confusing but couldn't see anything useful at all.
By 1911, she gave a Dover address ( 14 Victoria Park, Dover, Mar 25th 1911) on her marriage certificate. Now there's a thought? Perhaps a directory might turn her up there? Her prospective husband was a Private in the RAMC so that might have influenced her choice of abode.Gratefully, as I have learned a lot about how to use directories. alysone
