Title: COMPLETED - Help finding Dundee Street name Census 1911
Post by: jmg1893 on Sunday 28 March 21 11:41 BST (UK)
Ive been looking at the 1911 census for my 2 x Grand Father George Taylor and his wife Margaret. The record shows that the family in what appears to be 10 Combination Street, Dundee in the parish of St Davids. The census notes that George and Margaret had been married 6 years had 3 children of whom only two survived, my Grand Father George aged three and a brother Robert aged six.

Ive heard of Constitution street in Dundee which is in St Davids parish but never combination street. Can someone check the writing and see whether the agree it looks like combination street?

Thanks

I am only aware of Constitution Road and Constitution Street. Unfortunately, no George Taylor on either in 1915 Valuation Rolls.

NRS has the list of streets for 1911, with Reg district/number. Again, no Combination only Constitution Road and Street.

If you are looking at the box at top left, that's not the address. It's Dundee Combination 8th, under the heading of Civil Parish and Parish Ward. Or to put it another way it is the 8th ward in the civil parish of Dundee.

The actual street address is in the column headed 'Road Street etc and number and name of house'.

Unfortunately the line reading 'Screenshot 2021-03-28 .... is obscuring the box where I would expect to find the name of the street so all I can tell is that the house number is 10.
