Anybody heard of a Helyage Or Kelyage Street?

[WelshBrummie03]

I found a family member at this address (Helyage Or Kelyage Street) in 1891 but I can't even find anything on this street possibly I'm spelling it wrong. I originally thought it could be Henage street but going back pages the spelling is the same so not error on the page. It's clearly a L not a N

Thank you

1890 directory has Kelynge Street near Garrison Lane
Looks as if it goes between Garrison Lane and Cattell Road

Try this 1889 map (left had side)
Kellinge Terrace is marked

It looks as if it might have been renamed Tilton Road. Shape looks right comparing 1889 map with later maps.

Certainly looks like that Janice........but who or what was Kelynge?

 

[pjmburns]

At some point around 1890 Kelynge Street became Kelynge Road
1895 and 1897 directories

1899 directory


Looks as if they couldn't decide how to spell it.

There was a John Kelynge in the 1600s who was a judge but haven't found a Birmingham connection.

Wow, thank you very much. I wasn't sure if I had just got a wrong spelling.

How interesting, I wonder why they kept changing the name.

I saw that and wondered if the name change was connected.
Kelynge Greenway served time for his crime.
The name of the terrace remained but spelt differently.

Looks as if his Father's middle name was Cattell.
Perhaps they owned the land at one time?
