hi cindy, while in dewsbury library today had a look at 1901 census street index. there is a norfolk street, do you think it could be a house name on there ? does the 1901 include house names. if that is right dont mind going along and taking photo [ with owners consent of course..,,] let me know, sue ps. ref rg13/4256. folio 46/49/52/53.

Hi Sue Thanks for looking, In 1901 he was living in Walker street but there is no house number. I've had an e-mail from a Kim who thinks she can remember a Norfolk Villa in the Northfields Area Kind Regards Cindy
