I know the address for 1907 but not which number house
they were at a different address both in 1901 and 1911 so I am stuck at the moment

You might find their name listed against a workshop address and, for 1907, probably safe to assume they lived within walking distance. Cars were for toffs and nouveaux riche only.
I say walking distance but, for large towns or cities, make allowances for tram networks and so forth. I always used to wonder why the Victorians/Edwardians built such wide roads, four lanes, to us and I reckon it was for trams.
