Hi All.

Did they tell you will need a CARN card and 2 forms of identity before
being able to access any records.

I used to live in Kingsley Road as a teenager before moving to St George's Avenue.

Which number are we talking about, or have I missed it.

Also if you click on my useful links it may help you further or the
Alan Clarke link who has alot of photographs on his web pages
of the town.

Hi again.

I have searched all the directories etc I have and can not find
it previous to your own searches.

Edited: On my 1892 electoral roll Thomas was at 32, Watkin Terrace.

On my 1901 electoral roll he was at 34 and had premises (a warehouse)
in Ladies Lane.

ahh cool so i know he was ther ein 1911 , and 1914 ,  he was also listed in a boot maufactures directory in clarke road in 1911 , but not in 19.... think 23... but he would have been in his 60,s by then so may well have died or sold out

gipsy lane , kingsthorpe  appears in the 1881 census i found , but has 1 entry against no name.
