House History

Ah yes, sorry  , and in exactly the right place to be No 11.

I see from the streetview in Priscilla's link, the house next door is Littlecroft & almost opposite is Dunette, which latter appears on the 1939

Sorry Shaun, in my haste wrong cutting of the map, you are correct that is the one

According to www.freecen.org.uk/freecen_coverage/DEV, Shaldon is within the place name Wonford [piece 263 in 1841, 1870 in 1851, 1695 in 1891].

ADDED: This is the description of the two parts of piece 1695 in 1891

[josey]

I've browsed these 2 districts & towards the end of district 16 pce 1695 folios 104 + 105 pages 32 - 34 are The Ness, Dunmore, Dunmore Lodge, Ness Cottage & Ness Lodge. Ness Cottage appears on the map in Horse Lane so I think this is the area, just need to work out which house was 11!

[josey]

The relevant description of part of pce 1870 from 1851, I have browsed this & the vast majority have no addresses so seemingly impossible to identify one house. Folio 324 onwards.

[josey]

1871 piece 2074 from folio 13; folio 28 page 25 starts Providence Row - after Shaldon Back Street - then Dunmore House, New Lodge then Peggins Cottage & Ness House both unoccupied; no way of identifying Horse Lane.

1881 piece 2157 Providence Row starts folio 158; Dunmore House on folio 164, 165. Can't see any Scotts in 1871 or 1881. 

ADDED: As the censuses I have accessed so far have no addresses maybe a local history society can help more?

Wishing you good luck in your search, I am leaving it to others now.

Like I said, "this is tricky. Horse Lane per se doesn't appear on any published census as far as I can see."

The house deeds should provide some clues. Also electoral rolls, working backwards and forwards from 1939.

[ShaunJ]

The free element of the 1939 register names Alice Watts born 1878 as the occupant of "Redcliff" in Providence Row.

In earlier electoral rolls her address is 5 Providence Row, at least from 1927-1931.  There is also a Sydney Archie Watts in some years.

Sydney Archie Watts' residence per his 1977 probate was Redcliff, 11 Horse Lane, Shaldon

There is a wealth of information about this family in a public tree on Ancestry, including this photo of Sydney outside the house in the 1940's: https://tinyurl.com/y5jxs3oa
