Title: What is current street name? (re:1911 census)
Post by: Florida June on Thursday 17 March 11 17:10 GMT (UK)

I have a 1911 census address for my father of: 19 Union St West, St Marylebone, London.

Can't find it on Google..perhaps a name change since then?

Thanks..June Engman

Hi


Are you sure it is Union Street West, St Marylebone or Union Street, West St Marylebone or Union Street, West Street, Marylebone?


Union Street Marylebone became Daventry Street in 1929.

Valda

Is that written Union Street W ? If so the W will be the postal area and not part of the street name.

Union Street in W1 (East Marylebone/Paddington) has been renamed Riding House Street

The census page gives the address as "19 Union Street, Berner Street W"

The description of the enumeration district says "Union Street (exclusive of  Middlesex Hospital).

That Union Street ran from 70 Great Titchfield Street to 37 Cleveland Street (according to my London Directories)
