#3 - what social need? Economic, yes. You may be right, but I'm not sure what your thinking is.
All the others I agree with.
For #1, it wouldn't be easy to find out where somebody lived before houses and businesses had street numbers, so I'm going to have to say you are hinting about it also being Social? You confused me with where the butcher shop was, are you also saying it is Economical?
For #3, I decided with social because of the term "whalers" people from a community or/of a society. Just a complete guess.
