Title: Wright's Court, West Street in Barkston
Post by: Treehug on Monday 01 September 25 08:53 BST (UK)

Looking for more information on where exactly the above address 'Wright's Court' (referred to in a 1851 census entry for Barkston) was located.  It appears to be at the start of West Street where this meets Main Street perhaps?

Census information is Crown Copyright, from www.nationalarchives.gov.uk

This is the first large scale OS, surveyed 1888, which you may be able to match with the census sequence.  West Street runs NW from the centre.

(There is a georeferenced version of the area but it is a revision of 1903.)

I don't see Wrights Court in any censuses after 1851.
