Thanks for the comments.
My understanding is the older houses in that area were demolished in the late 50's/early60's.
(area around 71 Gloucester Rd anyway)   Update - some of the houses, not all
Just wondered if anyone could confirm that, or the date
I have a picture of me as a baby around 1958 in the back of what looks like the older building with relatives  (typical older victorian 'working class' structure).
and Im told they moved out around that time when the area was redeveloped.

Looking at Google streetview. Look like houses in the numbers 50's and 80' are still original, so maybe was just a small portion redeveloped.
Update - the numbers 61 and 77 look original with decorative pattern just below the eaves.

Extra Q - The impressive 'access self storage' unit opposite, in an old brick building with stone sign with "Office" on it,  looks interesting. Anyone know what it was originally?

Apparently there was a glitch, and some people like me, with expired subscriptions, were able to still see records that had been attached to their trees. But that is closed off now.
I did download copies of the important ones of course, but didn't bother on some recent (less important) ones
Will download when I next rejoin or when the next free period occurs

PS Big thumbs up to Ancestry for the occasional free access periods they do

Thanks. Yes, I have the death certificate from that entry
