London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Flask Lane, Pimlico flattened for Victoria Station?

Chris,

Thanks for your kind offer, that would be great.  I am currently on a ship heading for India (I work on a cruise line) so don't get many opportunities to do research.

By using Google I was able to get some old maps and a few snippets of info on new buildings that had been erected in the location but have not found any definitive information as to exactly what happened.  I believe that all the census records for around that time in the Pimlico area were also lost which does not help.

Regards

Scully,

You were right, on checking some facts I was able to find the correct parents for James.  Alexander Wood and Margaret Brown married in 1805, a much more likely setup!  If you can contact John from earlier in the thread I believe he may be of help to you.  If I find a conection between Alexander and Robert I will let you know.  Sorry for the false hope!

Regards

If this fits your information let me know so we can fill in the missing bits!  I have details of other siblings along the way just wanted to show the direct line.

No they are not Smiths but there are turning out to be more Norths and Prater's than I expected!  I did follow the wrong lead with a Scottish name and ended up with several generations only to be told that I has picked up one incorrect name, when I bought the correct wedding certificate it shed a whole new light on the whole picture - amazing what a couple of pounds investment can produce!

Where would we be without the internet and on-line Census!  Still checking gravestones and such I guess.

I wish you both happy searching, I now live in Cape Town which makes research that little more difficult but I have a cousin a little more active back in the UK who has even managed to contact living relatives we did not know of so who knows what will turn up.  The worst part is that much of the "easy information" was buried when my two uncles and aunt passed away.  If only we had spoken more!

All the best

Barbara and Meles,

So what are your plans now?  I guess the only option is visiting what remains of the local churches etc to see what records remain.  Are you both in the UK?

I have tried both the 1861 and 1871 Census with no success.  Just hoping that someone may have some other line of research
