VG added in 2024: Aunt Laura and Aunt Amy also eventually lived together in Jesus Lane, towards the roundabout/junction with Malcolm Street. Not sure of the number but I can remember as a very small girl going to visit them just down the road and the house seeming rather dark with lots of what was then used a lot in old houses, brown paint!
