I've just received a marriage certificate relating to the marriage of some relatives (Charles John Ettridge to Eliza Sarah Ettridge) 15 December 1873 at St John the Baptist, Hoxton.
Both bride and groom give their address as Pimlico Wall (she at number 1, he at number 4).
I've looked at the couple of sites I have bookmarked for old London streets, and searched t'internet, but can't find Pimlico Wall.
Anyone any ideas where Pimlico Wall was?
These two are presumably cousins, but apart from the 1881 census (RG11/440; Folio: 63; Page: 6) this certificate seems to be the only time this Charles John Ettridge appears in the records. I have the bride's family and her relationship to me, but I can't find the groom's birth or on the 1861 or 1871 censuses (according to the 1881 census he is born c. 1853 in London)
thanks in advance for any input!

What name does the cert give for Charles father?
-
Oops, silly me. Father is Thomas Ettridge, a painter.
Here's the full transcript of the cert:
15th Dec 1873
Charles John Ettridge full age bachelor Carver 4 Pimlico Wall Thomas Ettridge Painter
Eliza Sarah Ettridge minor* spinster -- 1 Pimlico Wall Edward Ettridge Fishmonger
married after banns by T(?) H. Wright
witnesses: Thomas Ettridge and Rebecca Farrington.
* Eliz's dob is 10 Dec 1855
I suspect Rebecca Farrington is another Ettridge (though not entirely sure of her parentage yet), as there's a Rebecca Ettridge marrying a John George Farrington (1871, Q2, Shoreditch, 1c, 338; IGI Batch M040371).

Found a possible in 1861
RG9/206 = Finsbury
Folio 32, Page 19
transcribed on Ancestry as Ettlinger
-
I suspect Wall is a mistranscription of Walk, there is a Pimlico Walk in Hoxton.

If you go back to 1841 and seek out Ett* born St Lukes, you can see that Edward, William and possibly a Thomas are brothers - sons of an older Thomas ?
Following Thomas, married to an Elizabeth in 1841 and 1851 - hes a Bricklayer in Reform Place ...
1861 same address, has a pretty scruffy pair of pages that looks like them, with a Charles of the right age. But 'Head' on previous page is still a Brickie.
See what you think ?

Thanks Sue & Newfster for the census spots. They look very promising.
Thanks for Pimlico Walk clarification, Jebber.

Promising - LOL :)

Hi
Only just seen this post and I have a little addition.
Pimlico Walk was directly opposite St John Church Hoxton. If you look on a modern day map and find Fanshaw Street, Pimilco Walk would have been the next street above running parallel.
Pimlico Walk can be found on this 1897 map http://archivemaps.com/mapco/stanford/stan17.htm

Thanks Sue!

Hi Aulus,
I just came across your post when looking for information about Pimlico Walk. It's probably just coincidence, but I have a William and Martha Crane living there in 1830. The connection? Martha was nee Riches, born 1802 in West Newton, Norfolk, the daughter of William Riches and Sarah ETTERIDGE. :-)

Intriguing, Jan!
Probably coincidence, but my Ettridge ancestors only appear in the second half of the 18th century in Holborn, and I haven't a clue where they were before that.
-
Have you tried Norfolk? I've never worked out why Martha came to London - perhaps her parents died and she came to live with her Etteridge relations :-)
