Maidman's Row London.
« on: Saturday 04 October 14 11:58 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate an address for an ancestor, Isabella Mckenzie Graham, who was married in 1910 in the district of Mile End, Old London. I realise that it probably does not exist anymore, but on the off chance that someone may have heard of it..............  No 10 Maidman's Row....................

I have found a Maidmens Street in Bow - now gone (site under Mile End Park). Unsure if this is the same as Maidman's Row.

Presumably 10 Maidman's Row was her address when she married?

If so, do the rest of her family still live there in 1911? If they did, it may be possible to look at where this street was in relation to others in 1911 and from that work out it's location.

Maidman's Street used to be at the top end of Mile End Park on the left of the intersection of Burdett St and Mile End Road.

I found a reference to an address of "Maidmen's Row, Bow Common Lane, Mile End Road."

Bow Common Lane used to run into Canal Street (which now appears to just be a path through Mile End Park, but if you look at google maps you can see where it used to be). Burdett Road intersects where Bow Common Lane used to run up towards Canal Street. Maidman's Street seems to be in the right sort of area.

I am wondering if Maidman's Row was a row of houses on Maidman's Street or perhaps in the near vicinity ...  :-\

I think finding it in the 1901 or 1911 census will help narrow down it's exact location.

Maidman Street was the first street south of Mile End Road and ran parallel to it - at one end of Maidman St was Burdett Street and at the other was Canal Street.

Thank you for your reply and information. In 1911 Isabella and her husband Lazarus were living at 325 Mile End Road.  Her parents were both dead, and previous census record the family living in the Marylebone district.  I have a long way to go with this family, as Isabella married into a Jewish family at East London Synagogue and she was not jewish by birth.

It is a shame there are no clues to the location of the address on other censuses.

I'm sure there will be people able to help you in your search for the Jewish side of the family. Isabella sounds quite Scottish.  :)

Good luck.

You are quite right - Isabella's father and his brother George left Yetholm, in Scotland, and went to London where they were both 'carmen'.  I think I am in for a very interesting time doing this research or atleast I hope so.   Thank you for your help.

Oh yes I think so!  ;D

If you need help just post the details on the appropriate board.

I've just discovered this map that may help. Maidman's R is at the far east end of Mile End Road and seems to run along the canal there.

Hope this helps
