Hi everyone who has helped so far
Thank you for the guidance and I am please to report:
I have managed to find the Mount Pleasant I have been looking for in
Upper Ipsley in the 1901 Census in Enumeration Districts 6 of
Warwickshire being the closest to the marriage date of 1903 and No.6
for Registration District: Alcester and Registration Sub-district:
Feckenham includes part of the Civil Parish of Upper Ipsley - Ipsley
Street from No. 18 to Mount Pleasant, No. 19. (Mr Tilleys and No. 1
Beaufort Street. Then right side of Beaufort Street, including Mr.
Wright's Cottages (4) - Mount Pleasant No. 21 to Evesham Road,
Headless Cross. No. 217 including Robinson's Yard, Highfield Road &
Highfield House.
The enumeration District No. 397/1 and the name of the Enumerator was
a Mr Harry Wm Phillips.
The Public Record Office Reference was RG13/2942. Unfortunately I
have not been able to find the individuals concerned I shall
obviously have to dig deeper.
