John and Susan Bumby died 1858

[loislane112]

Does anyone have this couple in their files.  I am trying to find  their deaths as it looked as though they died within a few weeks of each other of fever in late 1858.  I have a certificate for John dated 2 11 1858 aged 46 years, salesman at 4 Cobourg Street, Leeds but in the previous two censuses he had been a warehouseman living in Templar Street, then North Street, Leeds.  I believe these are near the town centre and still exist.  So does anyone know where Cobourg Street was or is?. If it is quite near then they could have moved between 51 and 58 and changed his job.  Any help would be appreciated

I believe the Merrion Centre in Leeds was built on what was the site of Cobourg Street.  It is certainly less than a mile from North Street.

The Cobourg's were off the junction of Woodhouse Lane and Claypit Lane.
(The public house at the corner being named The Cobourg).
North Street being a 5minute walk away down what is now Merrion Way.

I understand this is an old request - but here's an image of 4 Cobourg Street taken in 1937.
If you put Cobourg Street into the search on the Leodis site, there are quite a few images.
