Errors 1881 Census Belper/Duffield, Derbys
« on: Wednesday 08 September 04 09:19 BST (UK) »
Not sure where to post this, will leave admin.,  to place as they think best.
The 1881 Census on familysearch.org. has the following errors:-

RG11 3412/48 Pg 1
to
RG11 3412/57 Pg 20

These pages display Streets with the following names:-
Matlock Road
St. Georges Place,
Field Lane,
Long Row,
Cluster Buildings
Crown Ct. (Court)

Further Errors found 14.9.04
RG3412/4  pg 1  to RG11 3412/10  pg 13
These pages display streets/houses with the following names
Cottage Hospital
Wyver Lane
Back Lane
Wyver Farm
"Bulls Head" Lane Ends
Dalley Lane
Jesses Lane
Finaves Cross ?   this should be Knaves Cross
The Gorses
Dalley House Farm
Cross Roads Farm
Holly House Farm
Blackbrook
Bridge Hill Cottages

as being in Duffield, Derbyshire.  This is incorrect all these streets are in
BELPER, Derbyshire.



A big difference if you are trying to locate the house where your ancestors
lived.
There may be others, but this is all I have found so far.
Should anyone have doubts about  Street names in Belper Area would be pleased to assist.

Sorry, can't resist replying to this though it isn't genealogical.
One of the Cluster Buildings in the list below is rented out as a holiday home and my family stayed their one summer. They are such a brilliant plan! Built as accommodation for mill workers they are "clusters" of 4 cottages attached together like a 4 paned window. Each cottage has a fair sized garden with it's own stone pig-stye which is back-to-back with the stye in the next cluster! The fact that each house shares two outside walls with other houses must save in heating (bet Belper is chilly in the winter) and the whole idea was very clever. Well done Mr Strutt! (And well done Spendlove to sort out the address problem :))
