Can anyone read this death address for 1866 please. Trying to backtrack possible 1851 and 1861 locations for this distant indirect relative. Looks like 196 ipscat Kent street. Could be great Kent street ????? Help pls.

Do we know which house numbers pls. Am interested in 177.

Mill street became the upper part of Grosvenor street west which then fed into what became Sheepcote Street.

Looks that way. On this journey I also found where Fordrough Shreet (and Wharf Street) which later disappeared. Very Useful foray into maps. Very useful source is the following which has a 1837 ish map which seems to predate some of the back to back builds to the south. No idea of the date...

Where would Sheepcote Street have been in 1840 please? I know Mill street fed onto Nelson Street in 1837 (One of my way backs was born there) but her brother was born in 1840 at Sheepcote Street. It looks as it Mill street later became part Grosvenor Street West, which led onto Nelson Street...

Sadly not. the writing is as clear as it can be.

Hi - Anyone know where Mill street is please in 1837? There is one in Nechalls now but that seems too far considering the family tended to live around the Broad Street area of Birmingham. Just wondering if this is a one of those streets that is lost now. Birth of Mary Ann Hudson She was...

Thankyou not my George then.

Yes I agree. I don’t think he was beyond lying if it meant he would be treated more leniently. This is certainly possible if not probable. Thank you.

Did you get the name of the bride by any chance

The reference married is in 2 sources. One is the newspaper report and the other is the more formal record I referenced above. I have requested the marriage certificate to confirm either way. Otherwise he references himself as single from 1863 onwards from what I can see. It’s just very...
