By 1871, Benjamin Tompson (29) Master Builder and wife Mary were living at 299 Cable Street. (Benjamin's brother Dan and his wife Mary Ann Green were living at that same address two years later, when their first child, Eliza Louisa was born there.) One wonders if 299 was a boarding house?

- Mary Tompson born 1887
