Title: 1841 census is this an error?
Post by: algy on Tuesday 19 August 25 13:47 BST (UK)

In the 1841 census for Warrington, Lancashire - File ref: H_521-2_087 Page 15.
In the place name column it says "Friars St."
I have heard of Friars Green, Friars Gate and Friars Lane, but not Friars Street, is this an error by the census taker.
Regards to all, Algy.

Maybe it existed at that time - how many households have that address?

Well, the entry definitely says Friars Street, although there appear to be only 5 households.  It is also NOT mentioned in the Enumerator's Walk on Ancestry.  I can't post an image of the walk on this forum, but image 1 of 19 when I looked for Lewis Roberts born 1801 was on image 9.  The street also appears to be somewhere in Friars Green as that is the address either side of the 5 households.

Added:  Just noticed that there are more entries for Friars Street and then Stanley Street.

BumbleB
thank you for your reply it is possible that Friars Street was a small cul-de-sac or spur off Friars Green or Friars Gate and disappeared as the are was redeveloped, thanks anyway for the information which as always is given on this excellent site.
