1 It would appear that the house was being used as an ‘overflow’ from the Armstrongs at Number 9
1901 Census It is here that 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. There is another house at the other end of the row (Todds) which now has 4 rooms instead of 2. The census enumerator appears to record the houses in the. same order as formerly. In 1911 when the numbers are again recorded Nos. 5,7,8 and nine have disappeared. Numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are recorded in 1939.
