Mayors Fields? Merryfields? Need help with this address
« on: Thursday 21 December 23 18:52 GMT (UK) »
I can't figure out the address highlighted in this parish register from St Philip and Jacob (in and out parishes I think). Merrefields? Merryfields? Mayors fields?

I'd be grateful for any suggestions from anyone who actually knows the city and might be able to tell me where the address they suggest is located.

Thanks!

If you take a look through the pages of the register, you will find other entries that give Merryfield Court as an address. 
There is a reference to Merrifield Court here: https://archives.bristol.gov.uk/records/41279/9

An address search of censuses on FindMyPast shows a Merrifield Place in St Philip & St Jacob in 1851.

Some newspaper advertisements have Merrifield Court/Place/Buildings near Old Market St, others near Redcross St. Not labelled on this map, but must be in this area.

Another says Redcross Lane, so near here (side by side view):

Thank you, I found it using the info you gave me. It runs parallel to Redcross Lane, on the West side. It's labelled on the 1887-1902 Goad Insurance Plans, available online: https://maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=bristol

Thanks again for your help.
