Green Bank Terrace, Stapleton, Bristol in 1875

[StintonLomas]

Hi
If the dates involved allow you to find the family on a census at Greenbank Terrace then i suggest moving backwards and forwards  through said census in order to find whereabouts it is in realation to other addresses.
ie. If it is a terrace on Greenbank Rd then it will probably have a G/bank Rd number before and after the terrace address.

Hi Stinton

I do have a list of all the addresses which appear on the birth certs of the children plus the census records.  None of them are Green Bank Terrace apart from the one in 1875.

In order of birth I have Wellesley Street, Bean Street, Eastville (this one didn't have an address), Claremont Street, 1881 Foster Street and this address appears for two more children, then from 1886 through to the 1901 census Sidney Street and in 1911 Horley Road.

Perhaps it might be an idea to look at the 1871 census and see if Green Bank Terrace appears at all and if so where.

Thank you for that suggestion, I'll see what I can find.

Stinton - Neither the 1871 nor 1881 census appeared to come up with Green Bank Terrace but I found one in 1891 census.

Perhaps you would care to check that my eyes weren't deceiving me.  The one to look at is Frederick Watts 1891 census, Reg District Barton Regis, Piece No. 1991, Folio 57, Page 18

I am none the wiser for looking at the road names before and after Greenbank as I am not clear how the enumerator did his round.

These may help - Here is a link to 1891 Greenbank Terrace - if you note the people on that census and trace them back, perhaps you will find some at Greenbank Terrace in 1881 and in directories earlier than that.  An example is this chap.

Hi Sandra

I've followed Albert back to 1871 but he is not living in the same area.  The reg. dist. has become Clifton and the road he is living in is Grove Road.

Do you know how to find the enumerators schedule of the route they took?    If I can find the right one in the 1891 census I could see what his route was and maybe find one of the roads on the map and perhaps work out where Greenbank Terrace was from that.

Go to the Ancestry - Card catalogue - 1871 Census search - browse this section gives the counties (Gloucestershire)  and the civil parish (fishponds) district 3 or 5

Hi Sandra

I looked at the enumerators road list for the 1891 census as that is where I found a mention of Greenbank Terrace.  He has this road sandwiched between Leonards' Cottages and Freemantle Road and Berkeley Street.

If you want to look for yourself it's 1891 civil parish Stapleton District 3.  You'll be able to see the other roads mentioned.

I haven't tried the 1871 census yet.  Housework unfortunately calls so I'll have to have a look later.

Thanks for your help so far and to the others for their suggestions.

Hi
Berkeley St and Freemantle Rd are either side of Fishponds rd just west of the, now demolished, railway bridge at the S end of Muller Rd.
The 1903 oldmap 1:2500 also shows a Gadshill Rd. BUT the next previous oldmap 1882/3 1:2500 predates Freemantle and Gadshill roads.
There is a short terrace where Gadshill will be and also the short terrace on F/ponds Rd.
Another difference shows houses on what the newer map calls Victoria Rd which were there on the earlier map without a roadway or street name.
It is interesting to see that the lane at the S end of these roads is called Greenbank View.
I would be confident that this is the area you are looking for rather than Greenbank Rd.

I will leave the above because it show my working out.
I have now found Greernbank Terrace on the 1882 1:500.
It is the houses which later became Victoria Rd

Well that is very interesting Stinton, thank you very much for that.  It had to have been somewhere otherwise it wouldn't have appeared on the birth cert, nor on the 1891 census.

I shall be looking at the map link you have given me in due course.  Really pleased with your find.
