Out of interest Alison is Henry one of your ancestors if so you may be interested to receive information I have on Henry’s family i.e. the murder of his son Harold which occurred whilst drinking in the Carpenters Arms, Hewelsfield.

Census - Place of Residence Hucclecote Gloucester (reply)

Royal Oak Inn is opposite the Police Station (still!) in Hucclecote District of Gloucester. The Roman road was Ermin Street (without the well-meaning but ill-informed version Ermine); a name it still bears as it enters Brockworth Parish. From Barnwood this road is the Hucclecote Road as it travels through Hucclecote District, under the M5 motorway bridge, and into Hucclecote Parish within Tewkesbury Borough. It remains Hucclecote Road until it joins Ermin Street on leaving our parish at Golf Club Lane.

It is possible that Henry Thos Burley worked at/from the Post Office.

With regard to the description of the dwelling as Roadside, it is possible that the enumerator has described it so because it was unnamed and alongside the main road as opposed to being on the village green or down a lane.

The Census enumerator has recorded Roadside in Hucclecote to probably mean on the main road from Gloucester going east - Ermin St - the old Roman road.

On the same page is the Royal Oak - site still there , and on the previous page the Police Station

1901 Census Entry for Henry Thomas Burley b1869 St Briavels Place of Residence entered as ROADSIDE (Hucclecoat Gloucester). Does anyone Know if this means that he was travelling at the time of the census?

He was actually a Postman at St Briavels and lived there before and after the 1901 Census.

Any Info Much Appreciated.
