h and r before numbers in CA directories
« on: Saturday 01 August 20 14:25 BST (UK) »
Some addresses in the directories have a number, then the street, others have h or r, preceding those numbers, any idea what h and r signify?

There's usually a list of abbreviations towards the front of each directory but h could = home or r = residence (depending on wether home is owned or not.)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
