Locating old areas/addresses from census records for Welshpool
« on: Saturday 13 March 21 15:04 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to trace maps/pictures of barracks that my Great Grandfather, Sgt Frederick Charles Llewellyn stayed or lived in.  So far I've found
Watton Barracks, (1881-?)
Curragh Camp (1886)
Crinkle Barracks (1887)
The Census for 1891 has him and his family living in the
Civil Parish : Lower Pool
Administrative County : Montgomery
Municipal Burrough : Welshpool
Ecclesiastical Parish District : St Mary's Welshpool
Address : Armoury Sq
I can't find anything relating to the address/area or any barracks....only Welshpool as a town.
He is also listed in the baptism records as a  Colour Sgt in the 4th battalion SWB when he has always been recorded as being in the 1st.
A twofold question!
Any ideas on where to look or any info will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 I see that the address was Armoury Square. Could it be close to 'Armory' on this map

Armoury should be in the middle of this map

The Barracks in Brecon are in The Watton , home of the 24th Regt then just back from the Zulu Wars
The Currragh Barracks are in Ireland now home of the famous Race Course
Crinkle Barracks are also in Ireland
