I'm lead to believe that "Buggins Lane" became "Deans Road" and that it was next to an open heath area (possibly the one that still exists north of Deans Road) or part of what is now "Heath Town". I've been looking into this myself, due to the following burial record in the same location 10 years previous, and it specifically mentions "Buggins Lane Heath";

County    Staffordshire
Place    Wednesfield
Church name    St Thomas
Register type    Unspecified
Register entry number    21553
Burial date    11 Mar 1851
Person age    7
Burial person forename    Hannah
Burial person surname    LOVELL
Burial person abode    Buggins Lane Heath

Hope this is of some help to you!

Hi All,

My name is Gary Stanley and I live in Devon, UK. James Stanley/Unity Wells are grt, grt, grt grandparents and I think I'm related to some of you and was hoping to get some help with tracing family members, specifically James Stanley who married Unity Wells ...

I also have Smalls, Joles/Jowles/Joules, Bucklands and other well known gipsy names in my heritage and as some of you have mentioned, Lily is a relation to me also. It would be great to discover some further information ...
