I suspect that these is a good chance that she went to that school. Can anyone tell me what was the number Abbotsford Place School, so that I can see how near to number 63 it was?

A second question about Abbotsford Place... My grandmother was living with the Wilsons at number 63, and Jessie Wilson had a tobacconist shop. She was said to be a tobacconist shopkeeper. I would love to find out the exact address of that tobacconist's shop - does anyone know how it could be traced?
War Baby wrote:Yeah! That makes me pretty sure she went to that school.
That shop owned by Jessie Wilson might have been there a long time. Just wondering when you remember
seeing a tobacconist shop in the area.... ?
