Wow, same address!

... just scanning the map, won't be long...

[Brambletye]

...still trying to post the map, can't even get a file less than 150k to upload on the site at present, not sure why...

This is Henry Place, just south of Henry Street, in 1888, marked in pink - might have been Henry Passage in 1860, or that might be the stub to the east or south of it.

Hi Brambletye:

Thank you so much for running this down. Looks very likely.

An address search in the 1861 Census on www.FindMyPast.com shows that 4 Henry Passage in Pancras (Christchurch) existed at this time.

Henry Passage fell within Enumeration District 19 of Regents Park (a sub-district of St. Pancras).

Here is the description of the Enumeration District:

Little Charles St. Hampstead Road
Brook Place
Henry St. Hampstead Road 16 to 22 and 23 to 28
Stanhope St. West Side from 1 to 121 (double nos)
Mary St. Hampstead Road
Henry Passage

Hi Jennifer:

Thanks very much for the info. It's reassuring to confirm that Henry Passage existed! The next challenge we have is to track down the Frederick named as Priscilla's father.

The Reformatory on Henry Passage (see above) caught my eye. This may not be a coincidence as Fanny Steventon was, ahem, less than 17 when Priscilla was born. I'd be interested if this Reformatory rings a bell with anyone reading this thread. I have posted a request for information on the London site:

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who so kindly took the time to help with this puzzle.

I just received the 1861 census record for the Henry Passage Reformatory and it appears to be for MALE inmates only. So I'm pleased to say that the thought that Fanny may have been at the reformatory is unfounded.
