In 1901 the trail becomes very obscure. The terrace goes from 9 dwellings to 7 and there is no indication where two have been lost or amalgamated. The houses are not numbered in the 1901 census. In 1891 George Armstrong was living in number 9 which had 4 rooms; in 1901 he appears to be in the same position in the row but in a house with only 2 rooms.

It is thought that the 1891 Census was taken in the opposite direction to the other censuses. The reasoning is that the number nearest to Percy Street is number 9, this being the case in 1881 when individual houses are numbered. The theory is backed up when looking at the number of rooms in each house.

Only six houses are listed in 1911 and it is suspected that Number 9 had been demolished.
