Some roads were renumbered around 1909 but I don't think Beaconsfield Road was - I can tell you that in 1917 and 1923 there was a house called Beachlands at 6, Beaconsfield Road. Names of houses would most likely have stayed the same even if the number changed - unless a new owner decide to give it a new name! In 1911 a James HUDSON was living there.
Many thanks, Pat, that is most helpful. I didn't explain why I wanted to know:- Mrs Christina Lace, the widow of my great-uncle John Henry Lace, was living there and died in 1908, and is buried in Milton Road Cemetery, not far from Charles Robert Evors on the other side of my family, whose grave you helped me find a few years ago, you may remember. So you have given me enormous help on both my parents' sides of the family?
I shall come to Weston sometime soon and be able to see number 6 Beaconsfield Road, knowing it's the right house. I value your knowledge greatly. Thank you very much!
