Lancashire Lookup Requests / montrose villa,garden walk,preston
« on: Saturday 09 October 10 21:29 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me find who was living at Montrose Villa,Garden Walk,Preston in March 1918,when my father( a Jones!),was born there.
We have absolutely no known association with the area,with his side of the family apparently exclusively from North Wales.
My investigations so far have shown that a W.G.Makinson certainly lived there in the 1890s,and possibly his son Ernest later,but the precise number identity of the house,probably 47or 67 remains unresolved(Ernest's record is transcribed as 67 but is clearly 47 on the document and W.G. spent time at both houses apparently!)
The data does ,of course, finish with the 1911 census,tantalisingly short.
Can anyone help?
