1842 map - St Anthony's Chapel

I have seen some, but they are copyright pictures, mostly it is a matter of pouring over etchings; unfortunately the pictures and drawings that my employers had when the area was cleared for Taylor s were destroyed. I only wish I could have saved more than I did.

This very map had almost rotted away in a wet attic; I had managed to remove the paper from the fungus ridden linen backing and the wet-rot ridden timber rolls. I am pleased with what I have saved ... but - oh, dear what I could not.

Very interesting map. I was just wondering what year my house was built. I know that the builders who built the terrace had the end houses for themselves (mine is one) but that is all I know.

I have a number of maps of various scales and dates, as well as lists of owners and occupiers; the Census records also help to identify when buildings and streets were built, photographs and etchings as well. A fair bit of detective work; send a PM with your terrace location, I will see what I can do.

My Great Great Great Great Grandfather Phillip Francis lived in Coinagehall Street in 1841 and was a sailor. His son, also Philip, lived and had a sail making business in Cornish s Court at number 2. After his death his widow Jane lived in New Inn Court. Any idea where that was?
My Great Great Grandfather Enoch Francis was a Driver of Cart and lived at 14 Battery Square. Not sure where his son, also Enoch, lived but it is thought that it was in Jennings Street, in the houses now demolished. This map has really helped bring my family history to life. Thanks Treeve
