Hi.

I have geneology records that cite that address/area, certainly in 1821, and again in that Century.

Is there a map of that era which shows the location?

Thanks.
 
It looks, from these two cuttings below, that originally Belmont village was a large court of houses just south of where the railway viaduct was (as shown by the pink ellipse), but that later the term was used for a larger area , including the Sailors Return , which is more south , and is marked in red. I am unable to determine exactly where the original court was , as the numbering of the street has changed several times and little remained when the 1880s OS maps were drawn
