"Charles Allen Cross, a carman, in the employ of Messrs. Pickford, said - On Friday morning I left home at half past three. I went down Parson Street, crossed Brady Street, and through Buck's row. I was alone."
From one version of Cross' testimony Morning Advertiser 4th September 1888.
It's clear (from other mentions on this site) that Parson Street did not or does not exist in relation to Doveton Street and Bucks Row. I've read a few sites claiming the obviously misheard journalist which seems a constant in this case but is Barnsley Street a real alternative? If Barnsley Street is the correct term then it would explain one issue of why Robert Paul did not cross paths with Charles Cross.
What other explanations are there for Parson Street and this to me seems a rather unlikely route?
