Directories usually give a good idea of who was at that address. But it must be remembered that the date is the publication date of the directory and probably refers to the year before. (and in pre 1880 directories might in some few circumstances refer to an even earlier year) However , unfortunately in the directories of 1900 an before numbering forMarsh Lane is not given. But here are the results for after 1900:
