Many thanks for all the replies and some v. useful hints. The building
was constructed ca 1900 on the site of a previous building. The
electoral reg. in 1903 only went up to 154 - either they hadn't
finished building or the residents of the higher nos. weren't electors.
By 1904 it goes up to 178 and by 1905 184. Still no elector at 159
unfortunately. Angela Hamilton
