Tweddle Street, Hartlepool
« on: Saturday 23 January 21 13:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I have been re-visiting my Hay & Coxon families in Hartlepool. I have managed to find Hermit Street, Silver Street & Frederick Street on an old map that I have of Hartlepool. I have also looked on old maps on the National Library of Scotland but I can't find Tweddle Street, although for some reason I think it is on the headland.  I wondered if anybody knew where Tweddle Street used to be e.g off Durham Street or Baltic street, or even had a photograph of it.

The 1891 Census shows TWEDDELL Street as being between Frances Street and Cleveland Street. The Census records households as:

Frances Street
Tweddell Street
Northwell Street
Chapman Street
Cleveland Street

The attached image (courtesy of National Library of Scotland) shows the area.

Hi, Thank you. I had walked through the 1851 census & tried to match that up with the maps. The 1851 census pages that I looked at (as far as I could see, I walked through a 104 pages) didn't have Frances street and apart from Northgate street, which was very long I couldn't get my bearings. There are an awful lot of houses crowded into such a small area.
Thank you again for the map.
