Devonshire Street is still there? Near B&Q

And that is still there, too! ;D

Google maps said that was Devonshire Road, so I wasn't sure if it was the same?
And maybe I am missing it, but I couldn't see where on the link the road actually was?  Sorry to be a pain!

Devonshire Street was near to St Margarets?

Ah yes, it would have helped if I'd included the Old in my google search!  Thank you :-)
These locations are helpjng me to confirm that a gt x 3 uncle of mine was transported to Van Diemen's Land for continual petty thefts.  The fact that his mum was a widow and struggling to feed a large family (she had to put at least one in the workhouse) was no doubt seen as immaterial :-/
