By 1881, greengrocer Joseph Hitchcock (b. ~1829) had moved his family from 80 Windmill Lane to Manbey Grove. Joseph's wife Ann died shortly after the move and he likely died in early 1891.
By the time of the 1891 Census, which was taken on 5 April, the resident of the property was widow and retired governess Charlotta Tuck (b. ~1825) who had rented out two of the rooms in the house to sisters Sarah and Elizabeth Wells, both of whom where working as dressmakers.
