Presumably the same as it would mean nowadays: one house divided up eg 1 family upstairs, another downstairs.

Or a house built in a gap and they didn't want to re-number the whole road.

Who lived there and I'll take a look at the census?

I've received a birth certificate for an uncle of mine who was adopted at birth. His Mum was a Dinah Cockerell general servant of Ewenny road Maesteg Glamorgan, I've found that address and a stone mason and his family were living there on the 1911 Census. It was in 1912 she gave birth to my uncle no Father named on Birth certificate. The house she gave birth in was of the person who registered the baby's birth which was the address I gave above, but cant understand the first letter of the street name.
