My humble theory is that there are a few mistakes here and other people have just followed these mistakes. I think when there was that gap in the block from Peel Street to Marquis Street, the enumerator just counted all the buildings. Probably didn't have the door number on display.

Why should they change the numbers and then back again (Hope and Anchor is now listed as 27-31)? It would be obvious only a temporary gap.

Looked at the 1911 census and does show a beer seller there at no. 13 and a licensed vitualler at No. 19 (Hope and Anchor)which would be correct to line up with No.13. However, there are two entries for No. 13 ??... the second one being a Medical Practiioner.

Another emission on this census is not showing a 21 and 23 ... why's that I wonder ?

Mind you, it is also showing No. 31 as Dykenook !!
