Apologies, having reassessed my ancestry, it appears that John Hoyland was not living at 148 Clarence St in 1901, but moved there sometime after, his daughter Susannah is listed as living there when she married in 1904 and it's also my grandads address when he was born in 1905.

Hi there, from what I've found through Ancestry my great grandmother Susannah Hoyland had a number of brothers and sisters .....

Anne E Hoyland b 1869

William Hoyland 1874

Elizabeth Hoyland 1876

Emma Hoyland 1881

Susannah Hoyland 1883

Frederick Hoyland 1886

Morris Hoyland 1892

Their parents were John Hoyland 1849-1907 and Mary Stych 1853-1907.

 

Do these names mean anything to you ????

I thought that the guy who fitted the handles was a 'hafter'.
