Pleasant Row, Old Kent Rd, Surrey

[JenB]

Pleasant Row appears quite a few pages after Wellington Place in 1851.

It starts at the bottom of folio 427 page 21, schedule 80, bottom of the page.

Some of the people noted in the snip ShaunJ supplied can be found there.

Found Samuel Aldridge a few pages further in.
Not a neighbour of Samuel Piggott, strangely.
But see that 'Pleasant Row' has been written here.

Yes, that's the page I referred you to in reply 9

Quite right, Jen. Thanks. The names from the PO directory are there.

My ancestor claims to have been born here 1848/49.
I have no evidence of his parents living here, though it is hard to be sure for the years 1848/49.
Anyway, the implication is that he could have been adopted from one of these families.
Of course, there are other possibilities too.

Well found JenB

I was simply lucky to find a couple of the people in the snip you provided

This is a screenshot from the 1840-1860 map.
Brewers Lane, Mill Street, Wellington Place all appear in the census, very close to Pleasant Row.
It must be one of the unnamed lanes you can see running between the buildings.
Samuel Piggott is a whiting manufacturer so my money is on the lane that runs to the Whiting works.
(Not that this helps me with my ancestor but it's satisfying to have pinned down the location of the street).

Thanks all.

No, Pleasant Row would be one of the terraces fronting on to Old Kent Road. This is clear from the directory listings.
