Hi Ian, Sorry to be replying so late, to this thread, but I have only just found it. With regard to your quest to identify Thomas TIPLADY's house, at Gayle, I think you may find the censuses helpful. The enumerator normally listed the houses in the same order as he walked his patch - so if you can identify one house, it is often possible to identify the neighbouring houses. For example, the 1881 census for Gayle, has Schedule No 87 listed as "Hargill", then Nos 88 to 100 are all listed as "Garrice", then 101 to 104 are listed as "Gates". Frances Tiplady lived at No 92 ("Garrice") with his family. At No, 90 was a butcher., and at 91 was a grocer, so that gives a fair indication of the Tiplady house. Similar scrutiny of the 1871, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses should confirm your findings, even though the Tiplady family left Gayle c. 1885. As a current resident, you probably don't need Colin Day's excellent street map at
