Crompton Road to Clifton Road

In the 1920s my grandmother was living at 36 Clifton Road, Aston and her father was lodging at Crompton Road, Aston. Her son, my Dad, always believed that his mother had had no contact with her father after he "left" the family 20 years before, but she actually registered his death in 1922.
Please can anyone tell me how close these 2 roads are? How likely is it that he could have lived at Crompton Road without the family knowing about it?
 
This is from early 1900s, details not great but it gets both roads in. Pink dot marks approximate spot of 36 Clifton Road and pink line Crompton Road. Distance is about a mile as the crow flies.
