Thank you for this.
Once again I do not recognise any names there - there must have been alot of movement - When Ernest was born in 1886, his family lived in yet another house in Judd Street. I get the impression times were hard!

Yet again its a bit more information and another dead end but I expect something will be put online one day which may make this brick wall tumble.

Yes, people did move about within very short distances, but also .....

"In 1888 the General Post Office and London County Council conducted a renaming and renumbering scheme to eliminate duplicate road names throughout the LCC and to renumber houses consistently with the lowest number being closest to the local post office. This means that a house located in 1851 need not be the same house today, or even in subsequent censuses." from Victorian London A-Z Street Index website.

This fits in exactly with your ancestor's date of birth and then admission to school being either side of 1888.

Sorry I seem to have somehow deleted your last reply my computer is playing up tonight and I somehow added the same reply twice and deleted the wrong one! - but I did read it!
Renumbering the houses would explain why they seemed to have moved then - just a shame I couldnt catch them at home on one of the census nights!
