Some of my ancestors lived at Stanley Terrace, Kirk Whiteshed, Nottingham. I have not heard of this area being mentioned before. Does anyone have any information ?

Sorry fellow rootchat members my eyes are fading tonight on re reading the death certificate it may state Stanley Terrace, Kirk White Street. The certificate is very faint and the writing is compact.
I will have to buy a magnifying glass to ensure that I do not make any errors.
Thanks Cal 241 for the reply sorry for the mistake.
regards Teresa

Hi Teresa,
Ive had a look for your address I can't find it,(perhaps someone else can Google it up),but in the mean time,there is a Kirkby Woodhouse, could that be your address, you did say it was faint and the writing compact...
-
Looking at Nottingham and googling there was a poet who wrote about Lord Byron his name was Henry Kirke White therefore I think this must be the correct spelling of the address. Hope this helps.

Hi
Could it possibly be
Stanley Terrace
Newark on Trent
Notts
Such an address still exists on http://www.streetmap.co.uk/
There is no Kirk White Street shown on there.

Death certficate definately states Nottingham. I have just looked on the Meadows Website and there is a commnet that Kirke White Street was near Mayfield Grove which would be correct as in later years the family did live on Mayfield Grove and some family members are known to have married at the chapel on Mayfield Grove.
Thanks for all your help in getting to the bottom of this problem.
Any information about the area would be welcomed.
Best wishes Teresa

Its a lovely reminder to see kids in the street and look at the widths of the road. You dont get that on the modern developments for housing.
enjoy looking

I passed by Kirk Whitye Street on the bus every day on my way into Nottingham to school. It's located near the canal, between what was the old High Level Railway Station and Trent Bridge.
Sorry about the typo above! It should of course read Kirk White Street

If it helps, here's a map extract from around 1960s. Stanley Terrace is bottom left. Mayfield Grove just to the right. Sadly neither exist now.

Hi
Focus in on Crocus St and you will see todays map and where Kirke White Street was compared to Sherwoods map. The Meadows were blitz in the 1960s for the sake of modernisation and upgrading housing! Well done Sherwood for finding the map with Kirke White Street on it.

Just in case it makes a difference to your searches Kirkewhite Street is all one word. It's not clear on the map on this thread as it's intersected by another road, but there is a dash between Kirke and white.

Michelle :D

my ancestor's relation worked as a domestic at this address in 1911
appears to be "Kirkewhite" here too
;)
-
a "Kirkwhite" Walk appears to be all that is left of what used to be :(

You can see Kirke White Street East on the old maps at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=457600,338760

Stan & everyone
Thank you for the replies. It s nice when threads continue long after they were started adding new information to the history of our families.

Have you checked, "Picture the Past", its a collection of photographs of old Nottingham. There are explanations as to who Henry Kirke White was and pictures of Mayfield Terrace (?), off Kirkewhite Street and some images of Kirkewhite Street.
Its also a great resource for Nottingham.
Hope it helps.

I love it and my elderly neighbours and my dad (Nottingham residents) have thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing when looking through photos of old streets.

Thank you ---that was very quick reply .

That photo is from the 1970s, you can Google information about Nottingham's lost pubs. Sadly its no longer a pub and my dad has just told me the area was demolished, so the building is almost certainly gone.
There is a lot of information about the Cockaynes, which you may have already seen. Some can be found here: http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/rollofhonour/People/Details/11454

Thank you
I found that through british newspaper archives where there was a memoriam message in NEP
Actually gave me info I was not aware of ---that my step grandfather lived until 1966 but I never met him . Must have been a family problem but have nobody around to ask
thanks terry
