Has anyone heard of this Street please? It may have been misheard/misspelled as I can't find anything so far on the 1841 census.

I have a burial entry from 1844 for Kezia Collins, Skirt Street, St Mary's, Moseley. I have found her baptism entry in 1795 at St Mary's Church, Whittall Street. She was baptised with her (twin) brother Edwin. Parents Thomas and Jane Collins.

Thank you.
 
I think this is the 1841 entry but just listed as Balsall Heath - no road named.

Looks as if road had gone by the 1860s so having trouble finding a map.
 
There's a lot of railway lines at the Highgate end of Kyrwicks Lane on the 1889 map. I wonder if Skirts Lane was a victim of expansion?

Assuming it's the right one.
