Addington Square, Camberwell, name 1848 ?
« on: Wednesday 31 May 23 14:27 BST (UK) »
Just to be sure: the name of the Addington Square (Southwark, Camberwell) was Addington Place in the 1840ties (and maybe earlier and later)? I found it so in baptism registers.
N°. 10 was the House where a relative lived with his family in that time.
Tanks very much

Do you want the co-ordinates for both 1841 & 1851 census?

Addington Square features both times in the street indexes.

Hello Gisela and welcome to RootsChat.

Certainly Addington Place was on the corner of Camberwell Road, and still called Addington Place in 1842 Robsons Street Directory

Addington Place and Addington Square show here on this 1830s map (takes a little while to load on my computer)

Thank you so much!

@ Copper1: coordinates would be fine. I could find Addington Square on the map, but not exactly Addington Place

@maddys52: I just wandered around through old London along the streets on the map of your link. Great! and found Addington Square.

William/Wilhelm Hartz, a brother of my GG Grandmother came to London in 1841 as a merchant, was married to Martha Day of Maidstone in 1846. They had baptised their first child Julius William 1847 living at 10 Addington Place. Next 2 children the same until 1851. There are more children, but no parish register entries for them as far as FS and Ancestry offer them. But I think I got them all with help of funeral registers, censuses and wills.
I found a photo of a pouse of today at 10 Addington Square, but I am not sure if it is the one those Persons lived in.

Thanks a lot again
