The addresses and occupations would likely have come from the census returns. The 'grid refs' are probably census refs or if they relate to B's M's and D's, the GRO index references.

Vanessa The information probably comes from Birth, Marriage and Death certificates....Each in it's own way is a mine of information. But they wouldn't give map refs lol Chris ***Update**** The refs are possibly the individual GRO reference for a particular certificate.
