Cannon Street Wolverhampton?

[DudleyWinchurch]

Hi Willow and Trees,

I'm really just noting an interest in this thread as I am trying to decipher a street name in 1841 that begins with "C" and ends in "on".

The street is on/off? Walsall Street in St George's district of Wolverhampton (the part between the bridge and the east end).

From the Wolverhanpton archives transcriptions, I noticed that by far the majority of Wolverhampton burials from Cannon Street were at St George's, with just a few at St Peter's, so I think that there must have been a Cannon Street in St George's area.

The road name I am looking at is in HO107:999:12 and is reported a number of times but I can't make out the handwriting.  It could be Camion, Carrion, Cannon or even end ...own.

[mod: sorry, forgot to add that it must be a substantial street of say 50 or so houses but can't find it on any map.  There is a large roundabout on the ring-road very nearby on current maps]

Thanks Dudley thats interesting unfortunately the RO is closed until January so were not able to give me a full reply to my query re Rose and Crown but they have given me a telephone number of a specialist in pub history in the area. Will let you know what answers he is able to supply

Hi Trees (and Willow),

Just found a Cannon St, off the south side of Walsall St in 1861 and Rebecca Cadman at the Rose and Crown is at ref RG9:1996:F49:P18.  She has a daughter, 3 sons, all coal miners, and a niece living with her.

The continuation of Walsall Street joins with Horseley Fields to become Willenhall Road so would be quite nearby.

So I am now pretty sure that the indecipherable street name, off Walsall Street in 1841, would have beem Cannon Street.

Many many thanks Dudley that pin points it well Now allI need is to find the licence for the Rose and Crown to see how long she was there and if her husband ever kept it and then A photo or picture   Plenty to keep me busy  BUT you have told me where to start looking and the first step is always the most important

Unfortunately, from multimap, it looks like all the surrounding side streets are long gone.  Perhaps the "Great Western" railway yard referred to in the enumerators description, expanded to cover all that.

Willow, you just brought back some great  childhood memories when I lived in the area of Horsley fields & Deans road area. I forgot what it looked like until I checked your links. Thanks for that
