Hi - help needed in finding a pub!

The back of a photograph from an album from the Irish side of my family says ‘Mrs. Power, The Pub, Ballinspittle, Co. Cork’.  The photograph is from the 1920s or early 1930s.

The 1911 census has an Ellen Power as a publican in Ballinspittle. Trade directories for the next couple of decades or so list Ellen Power as ‘grocer, vintner and car owner’.  At least a couple of the directories list Mrs E Power under the ‘Hotels’ heading. I’m assuming it is the same Ellen Powell in all the entries.

Just to satisfy my curiosity about Ellen Power (who is not an ancestor of mine), I would love to know the name and address of the pub/hotel. The first column in the 1911 census ‘House and Building Return’
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001948318/   and   http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001948319/

has the heading ‘No. of House or Building’. Ellen Power’s pub is 17.

I am at an early stage of my research of Irish records and would like to know if ‘17’ is the actual building number or simply the 17th building that the enumerator listed. If it actually was no. 17, where was that? I looked around Ballinspittle on Google Street View, but could not spot any house numbers!

Using

alongside Google maps
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.6667834,-8.5954541,214m/data=!3m1!1e3?dcr=0

I tried to generally match the buildings with those on enumerator’s return using the post office and the court house as ‘markers’, but that didn’t produce anything conclusive.

So … can anybody help on this?

Many thanks

For the first time ever, I have an ancestor's birth certificate, from Victorian times, which also has the time of birth stated: Fourteenth May 1872 8.a.m.

How usual/unusual is that kind of information? Certainly rare in my experience!

Having read a few posts in the WW1 forum about grandparents who fought in WW1 (who, leaving aside underage recruits, would have been born in Victorian Times) I wondered how far back into the Victorian era any of us could go with the birth of a grandparent.

To start the ball rolling (hopefully, a big ball), one of my grandparents was born in 1869.

Hello All

Something I've being meaning to ask for ages:

If I take an OS map, e.g Dukinfield 1898 second edition  - the information on the map says surveyed in 1891-2 and revised in 1896. What exactly does 'revised' mean? What would have been revised?

How different is a revision from a re-survey? E.g Ashton map of 1907 was surveyed in 1849, re-surveyed in 1892 and revised in 1907.

Thanks!

I am trying to find a high resolution copy of R Thornton’s 1824 map of Stockport.  I’ve searched online without any luck. The nearest I’ve got to what I want is scanning a copy of the map from the inside front cover of Morris Garratt’s “Stockport, A History”, but I have a line down the middle of the scan where the pages meet and the overall quality isn’t quite as good as I would like.

Anyone got any ideas about where I could find the map?

Regards to all.
