Street Name, Bristol
« on: Friday 20 July 07 04:00 BST (UK) »
The 1891 census gives my family (Simmons) living at 45 Winstanley Street, St. Philip & St. Jacob.  I can't find this on my A-Z Bristol map, so maybe the street doesn't exist any more.  Has anyone heard of it?

Hi marquees

Many thanks for the link - it's a great photo of the Street.  It's sad that so many of the old places have been demolished, but that's 'progress' for you I suppose!
Regards

Mary-
I just happen to be reading different topics and saw yours. Where did you get your A-Z Bristol map???
I have been looking for one and am very interested.

Thanks-
Jennie

Hi Jennie
I got the A-Z of Bristol when I was in the UK last in 2000.  The following link is good but I guess only if the street still exists.

If you would like me to check any street on my map I'd be happy to do so.
Regards
Mary

Thanks to both of you for the leads. I have tried the 192 site but that is all I have had time for. But I appreciate your help.

Thanks-
Jennie
