Locating "12 Brick Lane" from 1851 census?
« on: Monday 26 November 18 17:18 GMT (UK) »
I have an entry in the 1851; the address is 12 Brick Lane.

HO107/1520/72 Page 18

Now, Brick Lane is easy to find, but I wasn't sure of the numbering system back in 1851.

So I used the standard trick of looking at the adjacent entries in the census, to see what's near by.

Paging back, I find "Noble Street", paging forward I find "Pear Tree Street"; excellent.

So I found Noble Street and Pear Tree Street, on the Weller Map of 1868.

But they're miles away from Brick Lane?!?

Noble/Pear are over west in Saint Luke's, not adjacent at all.

I also found a reference to a 12, Brick Lane, Whitechapel in the BNA.

Can anyone solve this?

False alarm...

1830 map, by Greenwood. What Weller 1868 has as Central Street used to be "something else"
