Mrs Ann Napier, grocer, occupied 40 Water Lane in 1845 and 1846, which was then occupied by her son Robert Napier, grocer & spirit dealer in 1847, 1848 and 1849.
Her husband, Alexander Napier, was listed at 69 Rotton Row every year from 1813 to 1820 and then at 16 Water Lane in 1821, 1824, every year from 1826 to 1833, 1835, 1837, 1838 and 1839. Rotten Row was renamed as Water Lane in this year so this may have been the same address. [1]
Another son, Thomas Napier, Smith, is then listed at 16 Water Lane in 1840, moving to 41 Water Lane in 1841, 1842 and 1843, and 39 Water Lane in 1844, 1845, 1846, 1847, 1848. In 1849, number 39 was occupied by her other son, James Napier, smith, who was also there in 1850 and 1851.
