Is there a kindly soul who could check the above censuses to see if there was a farrier or blacksmith in either Stephen Street or Gyffarde Street Taunton?
-
Cannot see Gyffarde St on either the 1891 or 1901 Census.
Looking at old maps of Taunton Gyffarde St did not exist in 1890 and is there by 1902/03. What is your source of there possibly being a blacksmith/farrier there about this time?
Yet to check Stephen Street.
-
Someone living in Stephen Street has a garage which has stable doors and a cobbled floor and she assumed it was previously used by a farrier or blacksmith...maybe 1911? Her property is at end of Stephen Street with junction into Gyffarde Street..Thanks
-
I've checked the 1901 census and there is no farrier or blacksmith listed for Stephen Street or Giffarde/Guffarde Street.
-
Nothing for the 1911 either.
Knowing the number of the property would be helpful. Do I assume that the property is in Stephen Street?
-
Gyffarde Street and Stephen Street do appear in 1911 but there is no one listed as a Blacksmith.
