    Brilliant - thank you so much for that. I can't believe that I made such a basic error over the address after so many years of family history research!

    My Burns family were spread about Birmingham, from William Burns b. 1788 who was a Brassfounder. There may be a tenuous link somewhere, you never know! Thank you once again - you've been a real help today! I think I may be popping up again in the future with more questions, this is a brilliant site.

    My gg-grandmother and family were at 3 Court, 18 Great Hampton Row on the 1851 & 1861 censuses. Would there be any maps showing the Court layout for that address, and where should I look if so? I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.
