I am almost certain this is right, but perhaps my router is interfering.

I will try again and perhaps I need to clear my head around what's talking to what. Since the router assigns using a mac 
address perhaps I need to force the bridge and/or the nic to be more specific and just fix the addresses.

I get this from

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-use-bridged-networking-with-libvirt-and-kvm

under "Adding a physical ethernet interface to the bridge"

On our old servers in /etc/network/interfaces we have sections like

# The primary network interface
auto eno1
iface eno1 inet static
     address yy.yy.yy.yy
     netmask 255.255.240.0


auto eno1:0
iface eno1:0 inet static
         address xx.xx.xx.xx
         netmask 255.255.240.0

so I assumed I could do something similar with NM and have two connections using the same physical device.

I am no networking genius though
