57 Ridgeway Terrace in 1921 Isle of Man Census

[Tony Freeman]

I have been unable to locate Ridgeway Terrace in Onchan.
Does anyone know where it was?

I have located Ridgeway Road and there is a terrace of houses.

All help is appreciated.

Who are you looking for?

I have already found the family in the 1921 Census ~ Henry Vincent Charnley but recorded as "Chamley" in the search engine in Findmypast.

I am now trying to locate the house in Ridgeway Terrace but to date no record of it.

Looking for Ridgeway Terrace on a wills website, shows an address as Strathallan Park.
That puts it very close to Ridgeway Road, near Onchan Park.

W.H. Auty had a coach/bus/charabanc business as late as 1920 at 3 Ridgeway Terrace?

I see you have now amended the heading on your last post to No 57 from no 5.   The 1911 only goes up to No 6.

Looking at Street View for Ridgeway Road, the terrace of houses shows 6 houses.

The address on the 1921 Census form seems to show "57".
Whilst there is a terrace of houses, the road does not seem large enough for 57 + houses, as shown on the attached image.

Not sure what is happening here?

It's not showing "57"
The writer has written the capital "R" with serifs - the twiddly bits!

So, it's 5 Ridgeway Terrace.

Check out a capital "R" using Times New Roman (serif) and Arial (sans serif) fonts.

Yes, I see it now.
Thanks for all your help.
