When i first started tracing my family tree, I had access to a site where you could check maps through the years of areas you are interested. I have forgotton what the site was called, no doubt linked into Scottish govenrnment records in some way.
My reason is, and maybe some one can help me wih this more directly, I have been trying to solve a family story mystery. My Great grandfather was one of 10 (called Henry Duffy), with 5 sisters. One story went that one of his sisters worked for Coates or one of the other Mills as a buyer, and was in Rushia on a trip during the revolution. I have been able to trace 3 of the sisters, and they were either married busy with children, or dead at the appropriate time. The other 2 were Helen (or Ellen) Duffy, born 27/08/1874 at Cleland Lanarkshire. In 1891 she was on census at Newton Mearns as a bleachfield worker, after that nothing. The second sister Catherine or Kate Duffy was born 06/01/1886, was on the 1901 census in Cleland, with Father Joseph, and 2 brothers Joseph & Andrew. Andrew emigrated in 1911 and on his arrival documentation in New York, he gives as his home contact his sister Kate at 2 London Place, Paisley. I cant find her anywhere on the 1911 census, so wanted to check on an appropriate map to find out if that address existed.
My large Duffy family were based in lanarkshire from before the 1841 census, but this branch seemed to have an affinity for Paisley, and the seemed to move back and forward quite a lot.
Any advice would be lovely - on accessing the maps or some other way of checking for historical addresses. I have tried google but did not find anything definitive - anything at all to be honest!
Thanks again!
