Results from Bournemouth Central Library.

Mate's 1934, 1935 and 1936 and Kelly's 1934:

Wicks, Mrs and Mrs H W 27 The Avenue, Moordown

(the Kelly's 1934 also had the house name, "Crofton")

Mates and Kelly's 1937 no results

No sign of any Dowsett's with the right initials in any of those directories.

Electoral Roll for 27 The Avenue, Moordown:

Nothing in 1935 or 1932

1933
Wicks Henry William
Wicks Caroline Ruth
Dowsett Doris Marjorie (that spelling)

1934
Wicks Henry William
Wicks Caroline Ruth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The street directories tend to lag behind other records as the data was obviously collected in the months preceding their publication.

If you look here:

and view the Street View, the grey house that appears is number 27 (with the wheelybin on the pavement outside) as the number is on the bin and on the front of the house.

I used to park in that section of the road when I worked in Lloyds Bank a couple of roads away in 1983-1986!!
