St Catherines Road, Kensington - COMPLETED

[Jillie42]

Can anyone find this road for me? It's given as an address on a relatives birth certificate in 1865.

ST CATHERINES ROAD,
KENSINGTON.

Can anyone find a 1861 census reference for the road?

Cheers

Hi, I don't think it could have been built in 1861.

I checked the 1871 and it said see St.Katherines Road /Princes Road.

I went back and checked these out in 1861 and there were only Princes Mews/Sq/Terr, and no St.Katherines Road.
Census ref for these RG9/12/various.

At the risk of sounding really dense does that mean that anyone living within those parts will not be on the census? Duh!!

And that really is a stupid question isn't it? I presume there was only one copy of each of the books so if one is missing the people living at those lost addresses will simply not appear on the 1861 census which might well account for why I've never been able to account for one of my missing rellies.

This site shows London in 1861. But I can't find St Catherine's Road in Kensington area.

How weird

I've checked the brith certificate again in case i misread it.

It gives registration district as KENSINGTON
sub district as KENSINGTON TOWN

Date of birth is 2nd November 1865.

Place of birth and also residance of informant (H Williams mother)

as St Catherine's Road.

It was registered on the 29th November 1865.

So certainly the mother believed her place of residence was St Catherines Road.

Coud it have been renamed between 1861 and 1865?

Hi,

st katherines road notting dale , kensington...re named kenley st ...princes st was also part of notting dale , the potteries .
waht names are you searching , i was born and bred in this area

I'm searching for a John Williams. He was married to Hannah Fuller in 1863 in St Martin's in the Fields where he was apparently residing in St Martin's Lane. The marriage is on the IGI for St Martin's in the Fields

My gt grandmother Mary Williams was born in 1865 in Kensington at St Catherine's road (as on her birth certificate)

John was dead by the 1871 census and on his marriage certificate it simply gives his age as "of full age" which tells me only that he was over 21 in 1863 and that his father was supposedly a carpenter called James.

I really wanted to check the 1861 census covering St Catherine's road to see if he or any of his relatives lived there since I can't find anyone who might meet his criteria in St Martin's in the Fields in 1861.

All I know about him from his marriage certificate and the birth certificate of his daughter was that he was a general labourer by occupation and that his wife was born around 1832 in Essex so my guess is that he would be roughly the same age or perhaps older (though he could ofcourse have been younger)
