Ombersley Terrace in the suburb of Opawa, Christchurch

Ombersley Terrace – Probably named after Ombersley, a village in the Wychavon District of Worcestershire. First appears in street directories in 1909.
A small amount of information on the library website. I checked Papers Past and Ancestry website but no information. The earliest information on Papers Past was in Sept 1910 where some land in the terrace was being sold by auction from the deceased estate of a John Ivory. The only John Ivory I could find lived in Rangiora and is buried there. He was also born in Norwich. He died in Feb 1910. I did find details in Papers Past saying that he was selling his house in Rangiora as he had left the area and this was in 1905.
It was a mixture of new and old houses here and I have a photo of a really ugly modern house. Rudoph Steiner school is at the end of the road. Not impressed with lamp post blocking the footpath.
