Help with addresses
« on: Monday 19 June 23 14:08 BST (UK) »
I've tried doing a Google search but it doesnt shed any light.

My great great grandmother was living in Coningsby in 1851. Previous to this they were running a farm in Billinghay.

In 1851 they are living at what I think is 288 Coningsby Lodge. I do not know whether this is a street name or even a big building. I used to live in New York, so whilst I know a little about the area I only really know the High Street and around the RAF Base and Clifton Park.

Is anyone able to help me with a location on this. Also Back Lane in Coningsby as it would be nice to have an idea of where they lived.

Thank you

Back Lane seems to  correspond to the modern Park Lane;

Thank you, it certainly looks that way. So one location sorted.

There is a modern Lodge Road running NW out of the Market Place. Could you perhaps post an image of the other address, or a reference to the census entry so that others can see it. “288 Coningsby Lodge” doesn’t sound very 1851.

An instance of quoting "No of Schedule" (col 1) as House No?

Yup - took Schedule No. as House No.
We're on Coningsby Moor. There is an entry for Coningsby Lodge on Coningsby Moor - the enumerator has dittoed after "Coningsby Lodge" where I think he means to ditto Coningsby Moor only.

The Map shows a "Lodge House" Coningsby Field, close to Coningsby Moor.

The property immediately before Coningsby Lodge on the '51 Census is "Cross Keys House"?

So are we assuming its 288 Coningsby Moor then and not Coningsby Lodge? I couldn't figure out which part was being "dittoed".
