Back Eagle Place

I suspect (seeing surname) that the hint was to do with this cutting. Eagle place was off Ladywood road, (earlier named ladywood lane). I assume back Eagle Place had disappeared by the time of the 1889 map , probably when Morville St was built

That looks right, the only road name on the form is Ladywood lane but it's several rows below the back eagle bit.
That Mrs Gibson in the news report is probably, more than likely, my great +++ grandma, she is listed a head of the household so I'd guess widowed from Peter Gibson.

Thanks for that.
