Anyone reccomend a link to an Map of Essex Parishes

[Siouxzie]

Hi,
Been googling without success.  Has anyone found a good Map containing the parishes in Essex around the 1800's?

I need to know where Theydon Bois is, in relation to say Terling, or Thaxted or White Notley and I know Essex not one jot.

Thanks
Siouxzie

Theydon Bois still exists

http://www.theydon.org.uk/index.htm

got lots of info and a location map.

Thanks for that w105uk

I was after something rather bigger and including all the Essex parishes.  There is a William Bearman in 1851 living there who has an outside possibility of being mine.  Is Theydon Bois anywhere near Barking, do you know?

its fairly close, Barking is nearer to London,

there is a web-site

www.old-maps.co.uk
but it is closed for maintenance at the moment

Thanks both

Pinkcrush can't get your link to work, but then nothing is working smoothly for me today, must be the school holidays genealogical traffic jam

try this link to multi map

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=500000.136142269&Y=200000.087835654&width=500&height=300&gride=544927.136142269&gridn=199157.087835654&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=freegaz&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&scale=500000&right.x=1&right.y=94

its got Barking on and shows the position of Theydon Bois

if he moved for work chances are he would have moved nearer to London
