Thanks to you all! Learning a lot. Since I can't precisely pin them down. Maybe I'll see if I can locate some directories of that period that might provide addresses and if or if not they are located there. I am at a real disadvantage being in the states! Wish I could spend some time in the local heritage center and libraries!

Again, thanks to all. What a wonderful community!

Hi Brenda,

It could be an error. I am not sure if you are just trying to clarify and place the address on the death certificate or something else.
1861 numbering of Benisons Court shows 1; 2a; 2; 5; 3; 9 in that order.
Anthony Moore and family are at 3 and the following house - number 9 shows 'Seaton' Moore who I presume is Fenton.
Did a family member report the death?
It may be that the main Street address was written rather than the Court.
As Stan wrote, these Benisons Court addresses lie between 72 and 74 High Street.
Regards
Heywood

Cheshire Non conformist & Catholic registers (Burials)

Find My past has the image/transcription (in Latin) of the death of Fantum (sic) Moore, aged 80, died 23 July, buried 25 July 1865 - abode "Stockport".
A separate record (transcription only) records his burial at "Stockport, Municipal Cemetery"

Thanks.
The age is different - if it is the same man 51 yrs in 1861 which is a big jump to the death age but on the other hand if age didn't matter too much...

Had a 2nd look at the original image - pretty sure age is "80" not "50". Plenty of 8s and 5s on the same page - and the 5 is quite distinct in all cases.
"Fantum's" own entry has the year "1865" and no confusing the 8 or 5.

This 1872 map has a really good view of High St.
On the right hand side from the bottom are house numbers 2 and 4,
The first passage is Dumbvills Brow. The next one up is Coopers Brow so if Benisons Court was between 72 and 74 it must be around the next passageway up showing on the map.

St Petersgate Bridge as I said before was built 1868 so I think it would have made a difference to the layout. I do think we need to see an earlier map which I will try to find when I next go to the library. But at least this one may help to give a sense of where the two places were in relation to each other.

Because as you indicted in your reply it's not very clear and unless you buy a sub you can't zoom in.
I agree it's not clear and it may be OK for everyone else but I myself would like to see a  clearer map without having to pay for the privilege.
