Haydn72 Â Â 10 #31 Posted September 23, 2012 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.
