Tenants of No. 10 Gloucester Road

The house was rented out to tenants during the time it was owned by John Hodges and the Williams family.  During this time we have traced some of the families who occupied the house:

The Gerrish family - click here for more information

George Stone - the Special Drainage District Rate Book of 1876 shows that George Stone was a tenant here.  This would appear to be a temporary arrangement as we know that Mrs Stone moved to Thornbury in July 1875 and the family were living in number 20 Gloucester Road by 1881.  Click here to read about George Stone

The Hall family - the 1880 Rate Book and 1881 census show the house occupied by James Hall, a retired innkeeper, his wife, Hannah and other members of the family.  click here for more information

The 1885 and 1890 Rate Books show that the house was unoccupied.  In the 1887 Rate Book the tenants name was shown as 'English'.

The Ford family - the 1891 census and 1893 Rate Book show that the house was occupied by John Ford, a corn dealer and his wife, Ann.  By 1894 they had left.  click here for more information

The Boulton family - by 1894 the house was taken over by Ann Ford's mother, Susannah Boulton and her son.   click here for more information

William James Shepherd - the 1926 Rate Book shows that William occupied the house.  He had probably lived here from 1918 or before as he was shown as living in Gloucester Road in the 1918 electoral register.  He and his wife had moved to Church Road by the time of the 1927 electoral register.  Click here to read more
