Brigyn,

Thank you, that makes sense 'a hotel' - any advice on where to from here on trying to define his birthplace? Appears he was born 1806 - it's a very popular name.

Thanks,

Richard

Norma,

Thank you immensely.

I did a google search on the address and another person, Celia Dickie (?) was born there also in 1820.

I checked on google maps and it is now a hotel - if it was a large building I guess they could apartments - was there any 'social norm' of using a Post Office address as their address during that period?

Thanks again !

Richard
