Dear Mr Pauline;

Wellington Road Property

I am just in receipt of your letter of the 29th May and am very glad to hear from you with your views with regard to the Wellington Road House.

I note that you have suggested that Mrs Pauline’s lot

Should be valued at ……..                                                              $1600.00

Your own with small house… and                                                  250.00

Mrs John Pauline’s lot………                                                              150.00

__________________

$2000.00

And that you have asked your son to take a man out to inspect the property and see what repairs are urgently needed and to report to me, as you believe it will be better to spend a little on the house and wait for a buyer who can pay for it in a shorter time.

If the man you mention who is returning to Victoria should turn up, I will do all I possibly can to facilitate a sale to him.

Needless to say it is a pleasure to do anything I can to be of service to you.

Yours very truly,

Lindsey Crease

 

Farquhar Road, Moseley – residence

And so the google searches for family addresses continues.  Today I present Farquhar Road in Moseley, Birmingham, where Ernest and Emma Paulin lived in October of 1899.  I don’t have the house number, just the name “Hillside” which doesn’t work in google maps.  So here is a street view of the road, which again features the same kind of late Victorian row housing, narrow, and two stories.
