Kim

have you looked at the image for the 1891 Census?

That will tell you whether it was a house occupied by your relatives only or whether they had lodgers, or whether the house was shared.

Thank you Dazed

I thought my family solely occupied this house but seemingly not.

I have found someone on Ancestry who's reli's lived in the same house as my gt grandfather and in the same year.

On the person's profile is:

• WITN: Witness: Present a death of father John Weston, 13 Mar 1892, 55 Litcham Street, St Pancras, London.

Can some one enlighten please
