LOWES Family of Corsenside and Dueshill - actual houses lived in?

[stanmapstone]

Yes it appears that Craig at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/393710/599871/10/101337  is not the correct one.

You can see The Crag on the map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/388552/585437/12/100954 and Woodhouse at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/388883/587134/10/101322
both these are in West Woodburn Corsenside. So this Woodhouse is not Holystone Grange

Too many places of the same name up here 

Christian, just to make clear that in 1851 your Benjamin was not living at 'Woodhouse' in Corsenside Parish, he was living with his sons and daughter at 'Woodhouses' in the Dueshill Township of Holystone Parish  ( HO 107/2423/277/9 ) the location of which Stan indicated to you here

You can see Woodhouses on the map and the modern view at http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=55.2980&lon=-2.0542&layers=6&right=BingHyb
It is now called Holystone Grange? https://goo.gl/maps/nCBYRNFq5912

If you are trying to pinpoint where your ancestors lived, looking at the enumerators description for the census return will give you a good ball park area of where it was. On ancestry you can page back, from the census image they appear on (or jump to page 1) till you get the the start of the image set to find the description.

In 1851, the district description was
The whole of the township of Holystone including village of Holystone, Township of Dewshill and Township of Farnham.

That will help you find the area on the side by side maps, get to the general area on a modern day map and then squiggle round on the old map till you spot what you are looking for.
he, he, I am sure others have a more scientific way of finding places, but squiggling usually gets me there in the end :-)

There’s nothing quite like having a good old squiggle around on an old map

In the 1851 census it is definitely WoodhouseS in Dueshill - so this is the place we initially said was later called Dueshill Grange and more recently Holystone Grange, yes?

It is just the ‘Craig’ that perhaps is different to what we first thought, although it did seem to make sense as it was just a short distance from Woodhouses

In the 1841 Census Craig is followed by Chesterhope, which you can see on the map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/389231/585291/10/101337

Thanks Stan, you’re definately right, it was the wrong Craig I had initially identified, it’s the Corsenside/Chesterhope one.

Sorry Jen B, yes, absolutely. I’m out at the moment and replying on the hoc and you did absolutely and thoroughly point out and identify first. Thank you. I’ll be rereading everything once I’m home and on my desktop again, but I’m too impatient to wait and read the replies until then 😃
