According to the 1929 Kelly's Directory for Newbury
1929 Kelly's? Didn't realise they were doing Newbury directories that far back.

There is a place called Newtown just outside Newbury on the A339. If you look at Multimap the A339 runs straight out of Newbury to Newtown before bending off to the east. Could this have been a road to Newtown that was called Newtown Road or even the road was really callled something else but known as 'the Newtown Road' years ago and has disappeared under the dual carriage way.
Just a thought.

There are quite a few gaps and I am not sure whether this is due to people not wishing their names put in the Directory or to other reasons. West Berks Library might have a map of the area for that time.
As you see, there are two entrances to Old Newtown Road. I cannot find the names you are looking for in Old Newtown Road.
Do you know where your Grandfather was Baptised as the Baptism Register might have the address of where his parents were living.
Newbury Library has the Parish Records for St Nicholas Church but not for St John's Church. Berkshire Records Office have both St Nicholas and St John's.
