    To amend my own posting, I think Little Winchester Street can be removed from the equation, and 'Austin Friars' should actually be Austin Friars Passage. My apologies.

    Almach, hi : that's pretty amazing. It's spelled 'Layenby' but close enough to be seriously of interest. I note that head-of-the-house John was born at Hull, a place I keep coming up against even...

    Thanks, Grisel, that sounds promising and accounts for the two websites I cited above each of which gives alternative names for Green Walk. The one to which you refer to seems the most likely. *When*...

    Related to this topic, is there any way to check the census by street rather than by name of resident? On the birth certificate of Arthur Spillane Lazenby, the address of the 'informant' appears to...

    Great find, Almach! But odd Louisa gave birth where she was a lodger, but indicates on the birth certificate her actual domicile was elsewhere. This family will be the death of me!

    All may not be lost. William Lazenby was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, in 1834. So there may be a connection. The fact he may have gone to Australia is unfortunate though. Lazenby had a son named Walter...

    As I've posted elsewhere, I think Almach may have solved the riddle with her discovery of Louisa Mary Lazenby. I need to find out who she married. That will be the clincher. My thanks to you.
