Street Map - Plymouth Devon - 1850 on

[Jaki]

Have been staring at page after page of the 1861 Devon census looking for my family of Kingwells and a related line of Kessell. After looking at a couple of hundred pages (actually I think it is more like a couple of thousand ... I am in denial  I have come to the conclusion that these people must have been abducted by aliens or out in the middle of nowhere having a gossip when the census was taken.   

Does anyone have any idea of where to find a street map of Plymouth from about the 1850s on? Did find one but the more i enlarged it to read the names on the streets the less i could read. I want to be able to highlight the streets that my ancestors lived in to get an idea of the areas that i should look more closely at before I decide that they weren't in Plymouth in 1861.

Thanks
Jaki

Hi Jaki cheryle.f here i,m sitting doing nothing in particular at the moment....again,do you have first names for the kingwells that your looking for.I could have a scout for you and see if i come up with anything.Sometimes you can be staring at something for hours and not even see it...i know i've been there. I cant promise anything but a fresh pair of eyes and all that....and it's good practice for me.I may get to be a veteran yet.

If you will send me your email address I will scan to you a large town plan of Plymouth in 1899. It is much too large to post on this site. I will not be able to do this before Tuesday by the way.

Hi Cheryle

That would be great if you could have a look.

This is the information I have in 1851. They were at 6 Coxside Green.

Richard B. KINGWELL   Head   M   M   35   Plymouth, Devon   Printer and Glazier
Sarah KINGWELL   Wife   M   F   34   Plymouth, Devon   
Charles H. KINGWELL   Son   U   M   6   Plymouth, Devon   
William J. KINGWELL   Son      M   6   Plymouth, Devon   
Ellen J. KINGWELL   Daur      F   1   Plymouth, Devon   

In 1881 this is what I have. They were at 8 Vintry St

 Sarah KINGWELL      Wife (Head)            M      Female    63     Plymouth, Devon, England     
 Frederick KINGWELL     Son   U   Male   24   Plymouth, Devon, England   Seaman


I have Charles Henry's birth certificate and they were at 22 Lower St in 1844

As Richard was a Painter I found what I believe to be more addresses for the family in the Historical Directories.

1852 – 3 Higher St Plymouth (1852 Directory of Plymouth, Stonehouse, Devonport, Stoke and Moricetown)
1864 – 3 Salem Place Plymouth (1864 Directory of Plymouth, Stonehouse, Devonport, Stoke and Moricetown)

Looks as if they moved around Plymouth a lot.

Thanks

Hi Jaki,
Just saw your info.
ref addresses,
although I dont have access to any of the census
Higher Street,there was a place later called Higher Street Flats,
also Salem Street Flats,
I also notice you are interested in the names Bulley and Bunce,those names are still around in Plymouth,Devon.
I have a Bulley in my tree.
Also Coxside Green,havent heard the green bit,must be before my time,
but Coxside is not too far away,from the other addresses.
I will have a dig around for you in the coming week,
talk soon,
regards
trish

Hi bennett

Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

The Bulley in my tree was Sarah Bulley born about 1817 in Plymouth. She married someone White/Waite before marrying Richard Kingwell in about 1840. Wonder if there is any connection?
