House Numbering at Newham (General)

Not many properties in and around Newnham appear to have been numbered street-wise way back, but the Lloyd George survey did prove of great interest to me. Under entry number GA/D/2428, there's a house and garden near Newnham station and a footnote says "Occupant changed to A E Sterrey." He was none other than my grandmother's brother, who appears with his wife Rose nee Houldey and son Albert Henry Hector Sterrey (known as Bert) under "Station Cottage, Newnham" in the 1911 census. You can get to the 1911 census through findmypast.co.uk as well as through Gloucestershire Archives and it might give you more clues on property numbering in the main street.
