It's possible someone would still be living in the house in which he was brought up, but more likely that he wasn't. Who are you looking for? |

Rachael, My family were never rich, but my gg grandfather (ag lab then merchant seaman), moved from the countryside to Southampton,and bought a house on a 100 year lease in 1850. True it wasn't the best of areas (Chapel), but my g grandfather grew up in that house, as did my grandfather. My mother lived the first 10 years of her life in it, until it was bombed in 1940 - 10 years before the lease was up!!! How did they pay for it? It was a two up two down terrace. They rented the first floor!! When my mum lived there, at one point there was mum, her sister brother and my grandparents downstairs, and a family of 10 upstairs - so parents and married son living in the same house would not cause too many problems! My great uncle also lived in the same house all his life - and it was rented. Taken over by the council in 1960. maggie maggie |

Its possible, my next-door neighbour has lived in the same house for 86 years! . Also an address my relatives lived at in 1891 was also mentioned on a headstone from 1960's - same family, different branch. I would think it unlikely though You can search the 1901 by address on the official government site, if you use Ancestry you will have to search by name. Sam x |
