Thanks everyone for the suggestions - much appreciated. Working backwards...unfortunately I'm not a local so I can't get to the library at Gillingham for either electoral rolls or street directories - more's the pity :(


It helps us to suggest alternatives if you have your location in your profile.  No point in us suggesting you visit archives in Kent when you live the other side of the country / world

I suspect that if you ask in the Kent section someone will volunteer to do a look up for you. I often do that for those wanting it in Portsmouth.

As you have an address maybe it is worth emailing the archives / library and explain where you are located and see if they will look it up for you.

Yes you're right - they can only say no! And yes I could go and ask for a look up by a helpful member as well :) Good thoughts and thanks for your help. I'm very motivated to solve this puzzle so will be following through.
