Can anyone help with the exact location of Cavour Cottages, Gillingham, Kent. This was a row of fifteen cottages. I have found them on the censuses 1871 - 1901 and believe they were either part of or just off Skinner St. Thank you.

Welcome to RootsChat
Based on the census Cavour Cottages do seem to be off Skinner Street at approx No 42.
Whilst the cottages aren't labled on the maps of the Old Maps site
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html
the 1896-1898 map does show an unnamed terrace with 15 properties leading of the west side of Skinner St, south of Cross St and north of the school.

Wow, Kay. No sooner asked than answered. This is where I was guessing they were from having 'walked' around the block a few times with the census and streetview. Of course they had to be in the only section now demolished and replaced by flats!
They moved position in the various censuses because of the way the enumerator must have assembled his completed forms but they always seemed to be in the Skinner St section.
I do hope to find a map on which they are actually named but you have got me off to a really good start so many thanks. Marion

Thanks for posting this information, some of my relatives (Inwood) lived at 3, Cavour Cottages in 1901.
