Zephamiah Brown (Coventry St Bedworth)

[drewsankie]

In the 1851 census i have Zephamiah Brown with his wife Caroline and the children.
Can anyone please locate the following for me

a) he was living in Coventry Street, Can you locate it ?
b) he was an Innkeeper (The name of the public House)
c) was this close to the canal ?
As next door was or looks like Spriggs Yard Coal Dealer, as this may have some bearing on it,
As the Stubbs family of Braunston, Northants operated boats carrying Coal and other merchandise from Birmingham to many locations down to London etc, and Zepamiah married Caroline Stubbs.

With Thanks

Drewsankie,

There is a Coventry Road in Bedworth, but not, as far as I know, a Coventry Street. It is possible that the street was changed to road at some point in the past.

However, at http://www.bedworth-society.co.uk/

there is an email link and I am sure they would be able to tell you whether the street existed, when it was altered etc.
