John Milson Fleetgate Barton

Had a look at Whites Directory for 1871 today, unfortunately it also simply says Fleetgate, Barton, without giving a number.   It does not takes us any  further.    A further directory for 1868 does not show him at all.

Thanks very much for your time, that`s so frustrating ! ( for both of us ! )

It`s amazing what comes into your head at 3 in the morning !

I went back to the 1871 census to look at other families in Fleetgate. Going to previous pages it shows The White Swan pub, next pages show a Thompson family with a butcher`s shop ; latterly there has been  Thompsons furniture shop  on the same side of the road., maybe the same family as the butchers. Counting the families up from the pub, I got to seven for the Milsons, so I looked on Showmystreet and I think the shop is the one on the corner of Fleetgate and Newport.

That`s if the enumerator was consistent if recording the houses consecutively.

Thanks for all those who`ve helped.
