Interestingly married just a few years later, while still very local to the street. The maiden name of his new mother-in-law was Fogg. From my limited research into the Foggs, it seems unlikely that the family financed or built the street and gave their name to it, which makes me wonder how these 'Places' got their titles. Is it a case of these,quite informal housed communities evolving informal street names given the family names of its majority residents. I suppose it very plausable that the extended members of a Birch, Jordan or Fogg family, living besides and supporting/depending on one another, could easily fill an entire row or comples of living spaces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
