Should 'Hanman Road' be 'Hannan Road', between Molyneux Road and Kensington? I 've not found any 'Hanman'.

I would think so Daggers, at 2 Hannan Road, Kensington in 1911 was Charlotte Salcombe 61, widowed born Ringstead, Norfolk, who has had six children, all surviving, Gertrude Mary 31 S Restaurant Superintendant born Bristol Gloucestershire, Irene 24 Confectioners Manageress and William Harry 19 Butcher's Assistant, both born Liverpool. Living with them are Charlotte's sister Sarah Ann Willoughby, Single 63 also born Ringstead, Norfolk and A W Lucas, 49, a married boarder from Bermondsey, London. Wonder if there was any relationship between him and Mary J Postlethwaite.

I must have a obituary notice somewhere for Arthur. I am going to go through all notice and place date of article next to each soldiers name.
