Upper Marshall Street

[Brotog]

AI search informs me that a family headed by William Smith, sawyer, aged 32, was living in 29 Upper Marshall Street on the evening of the 1851 census. Can anyone please verify this for me as I am very suspicious of information provided by AI? Thank you.

Thanks Lyn, I hadn't realised that the street had been blocked at one end (as shown in your link), it actually is marked as such on the 1950s and 1889 maps.
