Residents at this address

My great great grandparents (Lewis and Selina Smith) were the licensees of a pub called the Prince of Wales in Acton.  The 1881 census shows then residing in the hotel, and its address was 137-139 Acton Lane, Middlesex (1901 census).
My grandmother (Selina Smith) was still the beer retailer at that address in the 1901 census. ***
