Thanks so much for that information, much appreciated.

Household (4 People)
26 Mount Pleasant Road , Repton R.D., Derbyshire, England


Hilda Cooper (Morris) 02 Oct 1858 Female Old Age Pensioner Single 117 4
Joe Morris 31 Mar 1875 Male Coal Miner (Below) Married 117 1
Hannah M Morris 09 Dec 1875 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 117 2
Margaret Morris 26 Dec 1904 Female Incapacitated Single 117 3

Hilda' details are wrong. Birth year 1912 and she is a 'club collector'

In 1911 all the odd numbers are listed- Emma Marriott lives at number 7. The even numbers don't follow on from the odd though :(

On the image of the 1939 Register, Hilda's birth is given as 2 Oct 1912.

I don't have access to view but these are the people living there in 1939

1939 Register

26 Mount Pleasant Road, Repton R.D., Derbyshire, England

Hilda Cooper (Morris) 1858 Repton R.D. Derbyshire
Hannah M Morris 1875 Repton R.D. Derbyshire
Joe Morris 1875 Repton R.D. Derbyshire
Margaret Morris 1904 Repton R.D. Derbyshire

Perhaps using a Street/Trade directory of certain years may help in this quest.

Thanks MargaretM,
I didn't think it did, but as there are no house numbers noted, I thought, in this case, the house number may have followed the schedule number.
Sorry Sarah, not sure if you are going to find out who lived in number 26. Will check out another site but having trouble with my internet connection so it's all a bit slow today.

Thanks for looking anyway, I really appreciate it.

I just have to add that the schedule number of 26 has nothing to do with the house number.

In 1901 this family lives in Mount Pleasant and schedule number is 26 but not sure if that corresponds to the house number??

Hi, I am looking to find who the occupants were at 26 Mount Pleasant Road, Castle Gresley, Derbyshire. The house was built in 1894 and I would love to find out about anyone who has lived there. I assume mining will feature strongly in that area. If someone could offer any information I would be very interested... and grateful!

Thanks in advance :-)
