In the 1911 census Isaac and Elizabeth were living at 13 Newton Street. Isaac misunderstood the form and filled in the names of all his children, living and deceased. Sadly, 3 of their 5 children died and their names were crossed out. Newton Street was very close to St James Church, running between Windsor Street and Wesley Street.

(Checking Isaac's parents on the 1911 census shows they were still both alive and living at 166 Northumberland Street, presumably over a shop as Thomas's occupation was shopkeeper, own account working at home and Jane Sophia was working at home, two of their daughters were also with them and working in the shop.)
