Can anyone tell me where Owen Street was please? Not in the current A-Z, so I am completely lost on this one. Shortie
 
Ahh, thank you Postie. That makes sense, the rest of the family were Bell Barn Road and around there. Excellent, thanks again. Shortie
 
Owen Street no longer exists it ran from Pigott Street which came off Bath Row. There used to be a shop on the corner of Owen St and Cleeve Terrace we used to buy merrangue cakes for 1/2p. There was also a pub at the top end.I remember one very large family by the name of Pratt also the Cannings that lived on the corner of Owen St and Pigott St.
