Princess St Westminster 1829

[Anne W]

 Please forgive an ignorant Sydneysider who has never been to London in her life, but if someone died giving their abode as Princess St,  Westminster in 1829, where exactly would that be? I'm having trouble finding a street map for that time period . I've found a Princess St near Waterloo, but wouldn't that be the wrong side of the river to be in Westminster?
 Any help would be great.

Could it be Princes Street, this link mentions Princes Street, Westminster.

Hello, Anne,

According to my Victorian A-Z, there is a Princess St NW in Paddigton, this runs between Grove Lane & Edgware Rd.

If you have access to a modern London A -Z, look for Edgware Rd &  Lisson Grove, that was Grove Lane , a neighbouring Rd is North Rd.

My Victorian atlas also marks and lists it as Princesss Street.  But the map here:

http://www.oldlondonmaps.com/greenwoodpages/greenwoodnorth17b.html

shows it as Princes Street.  Just left of centre, near the bottom.

Do you have any other life-event evidence to differentiate between the areas of Westminster & Marylebone or Paddington?

The whole Westminster area grew massively in the Victorian years and the street may well have existed but been redeveloped or re-named.

 One of the burials from the family I am interested in is for William Rose in 1854. He gives his address as Princess Street and the Parish is Marylebone.
  Thank you everyone for your help.

The 1851 census has quite a long Princess Street West in Marylebone.

I have searched  Princess Street, Marylebone, in the 1851 census

HO107/1491  folios 197 thro' to 232

Sorry, no family by the name of Rose found.

Can you tell us William Rose's age at death & his occupation & do you know where he was born ?   If you let us have this info. we may be able to trace him at another address.

There is one in the same piece no, living in Salisbury Rd.
William Rose  age 71  Gardener b. Scotland
Frances wife  age 65
HO107/1431  folio 34  page 61

I have also checked 1851 census
HO107/1491  folio 783-4
Princess Terrace, Queens Terace

HO107/1487  folio 428-433
PRINCES  St. Oxford St.

HO1491/  folio 107-108
PRINCES St  Copeland St

Still no Rose family found.

Just realised you mention 1829 in your first post & then later on 1854, I take it that 1854 is the correct date.
