My great-grandfather George Vane lived with his wife Rhoda and their family at 2 Claremont Row in 1881. I wonder if that is the house on the corner in this photo?

Hi, my name is Richard. My father was born in 1919 in 22 Claremont Row, as was most of the family. There was Stanley, my dad, my uncles Ron and Charlie, Ivy, Violet, Reg, Ernest, Dot and Edith. The last four died at an early age. Any info on Claremont Row would be very welcome. Also my uncle John was a young lad age about 12 when my Dad was born. He was born in 22 Russell Street. My Gran & Grandad's names were Louisa & John T Groves
