Middleton Buildings,Marylebone, Middx

[R.Hammans]

I have a possible location address for someone I'm researching, it's in the subject line of this post.
Is there any way I can find out: a) where it might have been; and b) who actually lived there around 1872 ?
The name it's in relation to is Edward Lower Eliot (one 'T'), possibly born in Cornwall.

Also, has anyone ever come across the name 'Lower' as a second name in any of their research?

Thanks.

When was he born?

[CaroleW]

Can’t help with the address but he was born 1841 Liskeard  & married 1866 to Elizabeth Prideaux Branston who was a widow

Do you already have that info?

[CaroleW]

His birth reg is as follows

Edward Lower Elliott (note spelling) Dec qtr 1840 Liskeard 9 166

His mothers maiden name was Lower per GRO online who spell surname Elliot

He died 1881 Marylebone

EDIT

I see you already have a tree on Ancestry

A number of newspaper items mention Middletons Buildings as Great Portman St and Langham  St. You can see it here on this map:

(you'll have to move the map a bit to the right - I'll try to get a better map reference)

Middleton's Buildings can be found on the 1871 census:
RG10/151/30 pg 53 -60

From a quick look, I can't see any ELIOT(T)s there in 1871.

Modified to add:

Looks like Edward Lower ELIOT is at 334 Bethnal Green Rd in 1871
RG10/491 pg 18

Many thanks for that info maddys52 and CaroleW, all useful and helps clarify some details about my great-grandfather Edward Lower Elliot. I had his mother down as Mary Anne Quilliam, although not sure where this came from - I am sorting out the family tree started by my brother and finding quite a few inconsistencies!
May I ask where you found his mother as being of surname Lower?

The maps are great, didn't know of their existence previously and the location of Middleton Buildings is now clear. I have a census reference to members of the family in 1881 living at 3 Riding House Street, which I note Middleton Buildings are adjacent to, so part of the mystery solved!
