People
Walter Sydney Jerram
Before Walter Sydney Jerram was born, his parents Walter Jerram and Elizabeth Maria Jerram nee Rogers, according to the 1891 Census, lived at 2 Clyde Cottages or 1 Sussex House, Balaclava Road, Bitterne, Hampshire, a road that is still there today. Looking at the pattern of addresses in this part of Balaclava Road, I assume that they were living in a semi-detached house. 1 & 2 Clyde Cottages, 1 & 2 Sussex House.
On the Census Enumerators route Inkerman Road and Redcot House and Lodge preceded Balaclava Road, which was followed by Bitterne Common. From the map below it appears that there maybe 21 homes in Balaclava Road before the Reservoir of South Hants Water Works. This may correspond to Schedule nos 231 to 247 on the 1891 Census, which indicates 16 homes. The map is part of the Ordinance Survey 25" Series, Hampshire and Isle of Wight LXV.8, Revised: 1895, Published: 1897.
