Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Good Afternoon All

Just wondered if anyone can tell me how to search for Canterbury Street in the 1871 and 1881 census. I have a birth which is registered in the sub district of Islington and the place of birth Canterbury Street. I have no idea why this baby was born in Liverpool as the family came from Walthamstow and other family all lived in the south of England.
If I could look at residents in the street in those census I may get a clue, clutching at straws, needle in a haystack, as usual

Thank you
Cheers
Erika

Erika,

Pick up some names from the Electoral Rolls, 1871, 1881, and search for those, should put you in the street.

Hi Bert

Hi Bert

Thank you, I was able to find the address on the Electoral Registers and subsequently searched the 1871 & 1881 census. Didn’t get me any further forward but at least I’ve tried.

Take care
Cheers
