Evesham town

[tobyma123]

Hello all my relatives lived in Evesham in 1881 George Tarplee and wife Ann plus children.
The census gives them as living next to Brotherton Gardens at Factory Yard.
I have looked at the map and am unable to find the location St Lawrence parish.
I will be visiting Evesham in September so would like to take a look if it is still there.
Does anyone know where it is?.

I see that the parish was declared redundant in 1978 when St Lawrence's church was united with

All Saints. If you Google it,there are lots of entries for St Lawrence's Church - if I were you, I'd

contact them for info on parish boundaries at the time you're interested in.

Best Wishes

Everlea.

If you go to http://maps.familysearch.org/ and enter Evesham in "Enter a location to search:" you will get a map showing the parish of "Evesham All Saints with St Lawrence". You can superimpose the map of the area.

Have a look at the Old Maps website http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html  Factory Yard and Brotherton Gardens were located on the west side of Littleworth Street where it meets Bewdley St.  Try finding them on Google Maps, look at the same location on the Old Maps - then click on the layer of the 1886 Town Map of Evesham.

It looks as though the properties have been demolished and the site is now a car park

You can see Factory Yard on the 1886 Town Plan at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=403574,243934 just to the left of Tredwell's Row.

Hello,

Our family history society, B.M.S.G.H., covers the area.  If you are visiting you might find more information on your TARPLEE relatives by using the Evesham Index as the surname is listed.  I have no idea as to the level of information given in the index.

Go to http://www.bromsgrovebmsgh.co.uk/cms/worcestershire-resources/11-evesham-index.html

You will need to web mail the indexer, as it not yet on-line.

Regards

Mike
