Title: River Lane Castle Hedingham 1830s?
Post by: Chooch on Tuesday 28 April 20 09:48 BST (UK)

Hi all,
Please can anyone tell me where River Lane, Castle Hedingham would have been located about 1830ish?
I have tried searching maps etc. and following census which seems to indicate that in 1841 the enumerator went on to St. James st.

Hi,

That is an interesting question - looking at the censuses for 1841 and 1851 River Lane appears in 1841 but not 1851 - trying to compare the individuals does not give a common theme apart from Samuel Steer who was a minister living in River Lane in 1841 and also a minister living in Chapel Street in 1851.
The Congregation Chapel is on the road from St James Street towards the river Colne - so I think it is a good chance that it was called River Lane at one point. Not conclusive but a start!

Regards
Mike

Thanks Mike,

It disappeared somewhere so as you say likely a name change.
