Stone Place, Plymouth

[rogerb]

I am researching someone who is always described as being born in Plymouth c 1838 in the census returns.  However, in the 1871 one she is additionally described as born in Stone Place, Plymouth.

Does anyone know if this is a village or township, or would it be a street address.

The adjoining borough is [East] Stonehouse and years later Stonehouse, Devonport and Plymouth merged into a city. There were several limestone and slate quarries in the area such as West Hoe, Plymouth and much limestone was used in building Plymouth breakwater regarded by Victorians as the wonder of the age. 
Your Stone Place may be a transcription error or could have been the name of a street adjoining one of the quarries or by the same reason a suburb in Devonport is known as Stoke so again may have been picked out as "Stone". A list of Plymouth Streets [probably not including older streets etc as many were bombed and demolished in WWII] see http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/street_directory_s.pdf
