Locating an address in the late 19th century - Bristol
« on: Sunday 04 October 20 01:44 BST (UK) »
Some time ago I had a link to a site where one could view historic maps of a location but have lost it. I'm trying to locate a map with the address "Albemarle Cottage, Granby Hill, Bristol". Does anyone know of a resource for this?

Thanks very much,
Brenda

This is quite detailed:

I can’t see Albemarle Cottages marked on this or the adjoining map (Granby Hill runs over two maps).

If you have a family at that address in any census you can often narrow down the location if you browse the neighbouring properties. You may come across a landmark of some sort or a road, which is noted in the censuses and from that you can map out whereabouts your address is.

Thanks all. The only record I have of the at this address is from a death certificate in 1877. Just trying to determine where they would have been buried. At least I now have the neighborhood.

Great maps, thanks so much for providing these.

A Hi
A lot might depend on their religious denomination.
Just up Ganby Hill and to the right is Hope Chapel (Congregational) with it's own burial ground.
Towards the city on Hotwells Rd is the church of St Andrew the Less (can;t see a burial ground) and then a bit further on is Holy Trinity (might have burial grounds) SE of the bottom of Granby Hill there is Grenville Wesleyan Chapel, to the NE on Clifton Hill is St Andrews Church (with a grave  yard marked)

I've noticed that there is an Albermarle Row immediately east of Granby Hill
Malmesbury- Bishop.
Gloucestershire-Bishop,Hicks,Higgs,Hill,Hooper,Hopkins,Pitcher,Robertson,Stinton,Terret,Woodruff.
Worcestershire-Stinton. 
Devon- Borrough or Burrow.

I think the website you were looking for is "Know Your Place"?

That’s a nice site KGarrad.  :)

Frustratingly all the buildings look to be marked but most are not named.

The 1848 Public Health Act closed many of the Bristol graveyards to further burials.

Cemeteries open in 1877 include:
Arnos Vale
Bunhill Fields, Redcross Street
Greenbank Cemetery
Ridgway Park Cemetery, Fishponds


See: https://bafhs.org.uk/resources/local-burial-history/


Bristol City Council may be able to help?

Arnos Vale was always a private burial ground, now run by Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust.
