Wonder what Deb will think of this ...

Re Nathaniel White, death 4 Oct 1862.  Possibly GRO Vol 1a page 343, and I think Poor Law Union's records are extant at   Westminster City Archives   Hope their archivist is following Part 4 thread  and can check St Marylebone

Hi JM,

I've just sent myself on a wild goose chase trying to find where the above Nathaniel White lived in the censuses.

I eventually found both Great Quebec St and Thornton Place. They are just around the corner from eachother, just off today's Marylebone Road a couple of streets away from the northern end of the famous Baker Street.

Today, Thornton Place appears to be mews cottages behind some lovely large terrace houses. Great Quebec Street, which is now an extension of Upper Montagu St is also a street of lovely huge posh houses. Hardly somewhere that a(n) (ex) pauper would live.  :-\ Now I'm doubting that he is the right Nathaniel White.

Of course the street may have become gentrified over the years. I can't be sure of when they were built but the houses look old and I would say they may have been there in the 1840's ....  :-\ I will try to investigate further.

It is approximately 1.7 miles from Dean St (Richmond Buildings) to Thornton Place.

The 1841 census shows a huge number of pepole crammed into (a not very long) Great Quebec Street, so perhaps the housing wasn't so grand back then. Similar with Thornton Place, with several families appearing to live at each 'house number'.  :-\

Righto - houses are Georgian so will have been there in the 1840's and will cost you around £4.5 million today!  :o They would always have been big and lovely and expensive.

 ;)  I can't help much further at the minute.  I think I have a hardcopy 1880's London Directory in a trunk.  Will be back in couple hours, off to get to that trunk.  ;D

I'm just hoping Ann doesn't turn out to be 20 .........

Remember the cats meat man delivering to the wharf for the first time? I like to think it was because they had an expectant doggie mum and were giving her extra food.

Just logging into the new thread.

Nice to meet you Steve, wonderful that you got to see the diary.  Revealing Ann's age gets my lurker's vote!

Good morning everyone. It is 10.15am here - after signing off just before midnight yesterday, I have since got my five children to school and done some work before getting a chance to write this message - my, you have all been busy through the night!

Well, here it is:

The entry for Friday 9th October - 'Ann Fox completes her 45th year. Met her in St James Park. Walked accompanied by her homeward.'

She was born in 1801!

I shall post more later - back to work for now.

Peace and joy,

Steven.
