Bishops Street CIRCA 1814

Still trying to do due diligence on the Jennings Row vs Jennings Street issue.... I ran across a photo on Flickr that was labled Jennings Row, City Center.... Does anyone recognize this location in the photo? Is this actually at a location named Jennings Row?

Many sincere thanks to all you that so generously assist in this research

I assume you mean Jennens Row.
May I ask where Jennens Street came from?
The 2 baptisms are for Jennens Row and Bishop Street. I think they might be for the same child. Born Oct 1814 and very sickly - emergency home baptism (possibly church??) - baby recovered, family moved house and a formal baptism in 1815. Unusual but possible. First one recorded otherwise no record of the baby (?).

Yes, Yes... you are correct. Jennens Row is what I meant. I think your potential explanation makes sense and certainly worthy of consideration. Given that other information meshes so closely, and residences are so very close, it actually seems a very likely explanation. Quite honestly that's where I would guess things land.
