Thank you George, I was not able to find this on any map. I know the area,
my mum was born in Pitt St and her mum in Diana Street. have spent a very
rewarding morning in Newcastle wandering up and down the two and
neighbouring streets. This also confirms that the person I have found on the
1901 census is indeed the right one.

Once again, thank you

Anne, Melbourne
