Sproughton
« on: Sunday 21 February 16 17:52 GMT (UK) »
I am looking at some 1911 census records that lists my family as living in Upper Street Sproughton. I cannot find an Upper Street although in a previous census they were living in Lower Street. Could it be that Upper Street was just a designation for part of Lower Street. I have a feeling this question has cropped up before and I am just having a senior moment here. - Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi looking at the 1901 census Lower Street was a continuation of Upper Street Sproughton,

Upper Street example William Abbott b 1837 Sproughton RG13/1771/45/19
Lower Street example Hannah Bayley 1855 Bramford RG13/1771/47/23

But I am sure someone with more local knowledge can provide more information or a map?!
