If you were to buy the BC of the daughter, it would (probably) give the home address

(removed in case still living) Scales
Mother's Maiden Surname: Clarkson
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1925
Registration district: Ecclesall Bierlow
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Volume Number: 9c
Page Number: 709

The record is also on freebmd.org.uk (with 1st name)-

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

It might be possible that they are listed on the ER at the 'normal residence' abode later in the year, or possibly on a trade directory for the subsequent year. Some directories list names alphabetically, so you aren't limited to searches by address.

You could email [email protected] and see if they can help. There may be a charge.
