Whetstone in 1891 Census

[toby webb]

I am finding it difficult to find Whetstone (Oakleigh Road)in the 1891 census. Can anyone tell me which parish and even if I have the wrong county.
Thanks, Toby.

There's a Whetstone in leicestershire & another in Greater London.

There is a Whetstone in Leicestershire and a Whetson in Derbyshire.  Google shows Whetstone

Wikipedia says:

Whetstone is a place in the London Borough of Barnet, bearing the postcode N20. It is to the east of Totteridge, and these areas are known together as Totteridge and Whetstone.


I also found this!
Whetstone may have been the location of a Soviet spy base. Tass, the Soviet news agency, had a radio monitoring station at The Lodge, 13 Oakleigh Park North, and the British security agencies became aware that it was being used to track its activities.

You can find Oakleigh Road in this 1891 street index, and it gives the 1891 census references in the two right-hand columns http://www.rootschat.com/links/01me9/

Whetstone straddled the parishes of Totteridge in Hertfordshire and Friern Barnet in Middlesex - Oakleigh Road was in the Friern Barnet section of Whetstone. Old parish boundary maps at visionofbritain.org.uk

Thanks to you all for I eventually found exactly what I was looking for - but almost certainly slower than you professionals. With the Census Reference, how does one open up that particular Census Reference page? T
