Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: 1851 census..born...where?

Hi,
There's a district in Portsmouth, Hampshire called 'Fratton'. It's very near to the docks. It's another possibility.

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Bizarre 1881 census entry

Hi
I have found an interesting web page about Judge Peterson who built a folly in the New Forest after a seance held by Mrs Girling the leader of The Shakers religious group. The judge believed that Sir Christopher Wren gave him the blue prints for the design of the folly during the seance!!
On the web site is information and some photos of the folly which was built at Sway.

There were other searches and replies on here for 'Mott' but none of them are relevant to what I'm looking for, thanks anyway.

Essex Lookup Requests / Prittlewell/ Benfleet Marriages Look Up Please
« on: Sunday 04 May 08 12:44 BST (UK) »
I am hoping someone has access to marriages for Prittlewell and Benfleet before 1838.
The marriage is between William Mott and Eleanor ? Unfortunately I don't know the brides surname. Their first child was baptized at St Mary Benfleet at the beginning of 1838, so I'm assuming they were married a year or two before.
According to census information, Eleanor came from Prittlewell, she may have married William there but it's possible the marriage took place at St Mary Benfleet.
Sorry to be so vague, but that it the only information I have to go on.
Many thanks Sue

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Pimlico Wall (Hoxton?)
« on: Friday 02 May 08 10:13 BST (UK) »
Hi
Only just seen this post and I have a little addition.
Pimlico Walk was directly opposite St John Church Hoxton. If you look on a modern day map and find Fanshaw Street, Pimilco Walk would have been the next street above running parallel.
Pimlico Walk can be found on this 1897 map http://archivemaps.com/mapco/stanford/stan17.htm
