Thank you hanes teulu - I will have a look into that newspaper listing.  I wonder if Dundonald is now 428 (Carlton Court) Christchurch Road?  Nina

Thanks so much for having a look for me Jebber!  Fanny died in 1935 and Kate in 1937.  My next quest will be to find where they are buried, so I have emailed Bournemouth Council to see if they can help. 

Thank you Rosie99 for letting me know.

Hi Rosie99 - those houses that you mentioned - do you know if they were on the north or south side of the street?  Many thanks, Nina

Thank you Jebber - I have had a bit of a wander on Google Street View but not much joy.  And thank you Rosie99 - with your info I will have another walkabout and see if anything remains!  At the moment I don't have a sub to Ancestry or FindMyPast so cannot access the census returns or 1939 register in full.  Many thanks, Nina

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Looking for two old houses in Bournemouth ...

Hello Everyone - I was hoping someone might be able to help me locate a couple of houses in Bournemouth?  I expect that they are no longer standing, but would like to be able to see where they once were if that is the case.

The first one I am looking for is 'Dundonald, 82 Christchurch Road' - there was a school at this address for some years, definitely between 1889-1895 - the Principals were Mrs Fanny Fox and Miss Kate Williams.  I have looked on the National Libraries of Scotland (NLS) side by side maps and found an old map that shows very clearly each house along the road in about 1900 but none are numbered or named bar the odd huge house.  I think 82 was located roughly near the corner of Knole Road and Christchurch Road - Linden Hall is named on the 1900 map on one corner, and a modern map shows this site (now flats) is number 80.  The next corner sees a jump in numbering to 428 which is odd. 

The second house I am hoping to locate is 'St Elmo, Hawkwood Road' - the same two ladies were next at this address in the 1901 census.  I do not have a number for this house, and can see from modern maps that most of this road is now a car park bar a few houses at the eastern end.  I have found that the road was lined with detached houses in 1900 from the old maps on NLS website but again cannot pinpoint exactly where this house once stood (or may still stand if at the eastern end).

Any help locating where these houses once stood, or still stand, would be much appreciated!

Many thanks, Nina

Thank you everyone - yes, it must be Maxey Road!  I've now found that road on an old map and can see where it used to be.  Many thanks again, Nina

Hello Everyone - I'm trying to find out where Massey Road, Plumstead, London was - it doesn't seem to exist any more.   Any searches online only come up with images of a house at 213 Massey Road in November 1969 where a murder was committed ... I've looked at old maps but haven't found anything (clearly looking in the wrong place or it has been cleared away by the local council) - any help re location would be much appreciated!  Thanks, Nina
