Residence:
Known as such from the mid-18th to the mid 19th century, this was a notorious slum area off Hill Street, of crowded back-to-back houses. It probably takes its name from the landowner. There was a large Irish population here. In 1841 of some c350 residents listed, nearly one third had been born in Ireland and a high proportion of them were unskilled labourers.

John married Harriet Bolstridge on 1 Aug 1864 in Saint Martin's, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. Harriet (daughter of William Josiah Bolstridge and Martha Jaques) was born in 1845 in Bedworth, Warwickshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
