YARD NUMBER FAMILY OCCUPATION
Burns Yard, Flowergate Frank Usher Painter
Daltons Yard, Cliff Street 15/16 William Usher Labourer
Boulby Bank 2 Francis Usher Iron Shifter
Notes
- Francis Usher is recorded at ‘2’, which is not the Old Manor House, if this is the case it was after the rateable value study and prior to the 1901 census that the family moved into the Manor House.
- Based on Note (1) then the Frank and William Usher recorded as living in other yards would be explained by the size of the house at 2 Boulby Bank.
