However, I thought I'd start a random list of past owners, landlords, residents and lodgers of Thrift's Walk where I discover them. This material will come from a variety of resources, as I gain access to them. The Census is the most obvious source, but also local newspapers, local archives and old books.
Knowing everything that's going on in a street gives you a greater picture of the living conditions, the neighbourhood and lifestyles than just concentrating on your own ancestors.
There is no real coherence to this list, it's just a random collection of dates, addresses, people and events, in address, then year, order. All information is provided simply as a starting point for your own full and proper research.
