There is a James Elsley see below shown in the 1881 and 1891 censuses as living in Church Street
1901 Church Street James Ellesley and his wife, Agnes
It is likely that the cottages were known as Whitburn Cottages in 1919. The Woking News and Mail Directory of that year showed the occupants as James Smith, W Shearing, J Elsley and F Cole. There would appear to have been four occupants up to 1932. it is possible that Messrs Smith and Shearing were in what is now Wey Cottage and Messrs Elsley and Cole in Lea Cottage. Were the two cottages further divided?

Michael Allbrook, a previous owner of Wey Cottage, has supplied the following details of owners between 1900 and 1975. It would appear from these that the cottage was tenanted from time to time.
