    we are now using a backup solution

5 Hampton Terrace, Birmingham

May I ask if there were any more details? - I can't find it listed in Kelly's so assume it was just a terrace of houses on a road.
Or perhaps a person's name.

Found it on a later e roll - there is/was a Hampton Terrace on Kenyon Street.
This is a 1950s map and on the e roll Hampton Terrace is listed between 15 and 16 Kenyon Street. I wonder if it actually the houses numbered 1/15 to 7/15 on this map as there are 7 properties listed. In 1925 number 5 Hampton Terrace on Kenyon Street has Charlotte Bradley and James Callow listed - this might help tell you if I have the right place.

Earlier maps are not such a good scale and have no numbering This 1920s map is less clear.

Dear Janice

Thank you so much for that. That is really helpful. Where did you find the 1925 map as that numbering system is really useful. Thanks again Janice :)
 
The numbering is on a 1950s map - in 1925 maps there would have been no numbers. The problem is some roads got re-numbered so you have to be careful.
I use - you can subscribe for greater magnification amongst other things but you can use a certain amount free. Put in a modern postcode and then select from the dated maps on the left.

Thanks Janice. I will look into that. I really do get in a muddle with this Family History and knowing all the free resources you can use.
