Please note Caldwell Street was called Holland Street in 1881 – see here.
Kelly’s Directory 1881 tells us that at 51 Holland street lived Mr Edward George Barnard, a bootmaker.

Expanding on the info taken from Kelly’s Directory and looking at the Census we find out a little more…
Well actually we don’t. The census records I have for this part of the street in 1881 are badly damaged and so I am unable to delve any further with Mr Barnard. I have looked at the 1871 and 1891 Census, both of which show a different set of people living at number 17. Mr Barnard will remain a mystery.
