Looking for location of Northumberland Terrace 1860
« on: Sunday 13 December 15 03:51 GMT (UK) »
 Research in London is completely new to me and I have been trying to locate just where Northumberland Tce would have been situated about 1850.-1860. I have searched some old map sites but having never been to London I am unfamiliar with where to start my search.
Thank you

I will have a look at some maps shortly, but if your family is at that address in the 1851/61 census, it can be useful to check the addresses of the neighbours and the enumerator's route to give the address some context. There can be more than one street with the same name in larger cities, so you need some way of working out which is the correct one.

Hi which family member or document leads you to require the whereabouts of Northumberland Terrace in London & Middlesex, a cursory check of the 1851 census suggests that their were terraces of that name in St Pancras and Edmonton, any further clues you can provide would be helpful!

PS St Pancras/Pancras still there in 1861/71

Can I just add that addresses in big cities often no longer exist - lots of redevelopment has obliterated many old streets.

I see a Northumberland Tce in Putney too .... and several Northumberland Streets, Avenues etc ...

The one in Tottenham was built in 1752. It is possible that a "terrace" also has a street address, eg Northumberland Terrrace, Plimpton Street, Tottenham. (not a real address - invented just as an example).

Then you need to consider if the "London" address is London as in City of London, or London as in Middlesex for example.....

Thanks to everyone for the very prompt replies. The document  which provided the information was a marriage certificate 1856 from St Pancras Church, Middlesex giving the address of both parties as Northumberland Terrace, but no number. I am guessing this may have been a boarding  house as both bride and groom were living there and were not Londoners.  I am suspecting that they may have eloped.
 Time frame roughly between 1850 and 1860 though I am not certain.

Thanks for the help

Most likely the St Pancras Northumberland Terrace in that case.

Bride and groom often had the same address on marriage certificates. It does not mean it's a boarding house, or that they were living together.

Are they at the same address in the 1861 census?

 Thank you for your help .  By 1861 the couple had left England, so not on the 1861 and the groom  was not in London 1851.

I have some London maps in my favourites on my desktop which I will have a look at later if no one locates the address in the meantime.

Someone may be able to do an address search on Findmypast for Northumberland Tce, to try to narrow down the address which might help.  :)
