Mark, the Gravel Lane you have identified is exactly the same one as on the map I linked to in my first reply

As mark has said, Gravel Lane was indeed in Southwark.

 
You can see Gravel Lane on this old map (below The Green Walk. The name appears upside down).

Your Gravel Lane in the top link, is the wrong side of the River Thames, for Gravel Lane, Southwark.

Mark

SORRY, looks like your link hasn't turned yours North to the top!

It is on the correct side of the River! The map on the page I linked to was wrongly orientated and I could do nothing about that.

I am a geographer by training. I know that Southwark is south of the river and that the map I linked to showed Gravel Lane, Southwark.

Hello Jen

I noticed my comment regarding your map link was wrong, before you posted & put a correction on, with a sorry.

I had another look at the Motco 'Stanford 1862' map. Now I know where the Southwark Gravel Lane is, I was able to locate it on their map. However, Motco's index doesn't show it - only the one in Whitechapel. A lot of time and your collective efforts could have been saved if Motco had got it right!

Map Link from Jen, turned.

Awfully Sorry Jen.

You will see Maid Lane off Gravel Lane (Jen's), was Maidon in the other map (p.2 of Thread).

Pye Garden on both maps too.

Unfortunately, the only Gravel Lane I can see in 1850's is up in Middlesex, not Southwark, and she's definitely Southwark.

Gravel Lane Southwark appears on the 1851 census, starting at HO 107 / 1558 / 558/ 53, and on the 1861 starting at RG 9/ 314/  82/ 6. It also appears on subsequent censuses.

I retract everything I said about it being re-named    The maps make it clear that the northern end was re-named and the southern part remained Gravel Lane.

Hi Mark.

It seems the Alms Houses in Gravel Lane were founded in 1863 ('Mrs Vaughan's Charity') some 9 years after Hannah's death.

Hi JenB.

This may sound fairly basic but how do I access the census reference HO 107 / 1558 / 558/ 53 that you gave?
I no longer subscribe to FindMyPast, which used to have a road search for censuses, and that may be how you found the reference. Is there any way I can get there through Ancestry? Or I may have to start thinking about reviving my FindMyPast subscription - the cross-references were always useful.
