1891 Census question.
« on: Saturday 28 January 06 05:53 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know how to determine 1891 census district from street address? Example:
66 South Portland Street, Glasgow

Possibly a bad example  ;)

66 South Portland Street was (is)  in Govan which in 1891 was not part of Glasgow although it was in Lanarkshire.

If you have a look at http://www.theglasgowstory.co.uk
and search the valuation rolls it will give you the location in 1913/1914
by then going to http://www.douglasbrown.co.uk/glasgow.html you should find the registration districts pre 1900

Thank you Falkyrn. The address came from a death register in 1889. The links you provided are what I am looking for. I tried the maps on the NLS site ( http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/map/index.html ) but  could not get enlarged view links to work(maybe browser problem).

Thanks again for your info. and help!
