Gateshead - Bridge Street
« on: Friday 16 May 08 19:55 BST (UK) »
I'm wondering if anyone can help me understand whether 21 Bridge Street, Gateshead was some kind of huge institution in 1871, or did the enumerator just get bored writting down individual addresses?

Great x5 Uncle John Parker Palfreman appears on RG10/5056; fol. 54; p. 12

The next address 4 households below him is 15 Bridge Street.  The previous address recorded by the enumerator is way back on page 10: 21 Bridge Street.

If that's right and there aren't any intervening addresses that have been omitted, that means 21 Bridge Street held 13 households (=57 people).  Not impossible, but the addresses in Bridge Street either side (no. 25 and no. 15) don't have anything like that number.

Any thoughts?

Sorry.

To be clear.  I am not asking for a census lookup.  I have the census information.

I am asking for info on Bridge Street, Gateshead in 1871.

21 Bridge Street was a Lodging House. The missing numbers will be commercial premises with no one living in them, which is why they are not enumerated. Only buildings with occupants were issued with schedules. In 1881 there were 74 people living there.
