Default A search in 1911 census please

Could someone tell me who lived at 18 Alexandra Road, Reading, Berkshire when the census was taken. Thanks
I don’t have a name, that’s why I’m asking.

As far as I can make out from searching two different sites, there is no entry for that number on either the census pages or the census summary. It jumps from 16 to 22.

On the electoral roll


Name: Charles Slaughter
Residence Date: 1911
Street Address: 18 Alexandra Road,Reading
Residence Place: Berkshire, England
Parliamentary Division: Newbury

It looks like he had a business at

35 Essex Street or the other way around its the qualifying address!

I can only find one 35 Essex Street in London which is law chambers but maybe that Essex Street has been renamed.

Edit: looks like there is one in Reading.

On the 1911 census a family called Purver lived there.

Ancestry has erolls for Reading and they have Charles Slaughter living at that address in 1911.

Thank you all very much.
A friend has found some old photos of people - and the writing on them says they were taken at that address, but no surnames given. He’ll be delighted to get a step further.

He's regularly listed as at numbers 23 and 13. 23 up to 1911 and 13 several years both sides of 1911. I'm wondering if the entry for 1911 (18) has the wrong number printed?

If he needs other years, there's erolls for 1920s and 1930s on Ancestry.
