Charlton Terrace, Grimsby.

Hi Andrew

Think that sounds right, As well as Charlton Terrace the 1881 census also lists Hartington Terrace which was in or near Chantry Lane.  There are houses still in Chantry Lane but not sure if any have the Terrace names on them, I'm in that area tomorrow so will have a quick look.

Thank you.  According to "street view", I can see a Belgrave Terrace.

There also appears to be a number of more recently built properties in the same road.

However, if not too much trouble, your observations would be appreciated.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew

Had a drive around Chantry lane and surrounding area, only other terrace sign I could see was Dudley Terrace, as you say a lot of  new houses have been built along Chantry Lane so it's possible that Charlton Terrace was here.  Sorry haven't been able to make it to library yet but have to go for something for myself so time permitting I will get there and hopefully we can solve this mystery

My gt grandmother lived and died in Charlton Street, so I have been interested in this.

I googled Charlton Terrace and came across this
http://genforum.genealogy.com/lusby/messages/175.html   which quite remarkably is one of my names. The listing of the Census shows  ( if the enumerator moved form one street to the next ) Charlton Terr as being in the Queen St, Victoria St area; so it`s quite possible it was where the shopping area or new roads are.

All I can see is a listing of all the LUSBYs that happen to have been in the Grimsby area in the 1881 census.  It just happens that the LUSBY family in Charlton Terrace is listed between the families in Queen and Victoria Streets.

To illustrate the randomness of this list, note that neighbouring houses - 104 and 106 Victoria Street - are not listed together in the list.

Sorry, I`m not intent on taking this over, but one of the christian names has a special sigificance to me so I was quite excited to find it !!

However, back to Charlton Terrace; this morning I asked my father 96, born and bred in Grimsby, in that area if he had heard of it but he hasn`t.

On Ancestry, which I don't have access to, you should be able access descriptions of each enumeration district and this would give some idea which part of the town these terraces were contained in.

Finally managed to get to the library 

Charlton Terrace is Macaulay Street, along with Charlton there was also Hartington, Elizabeth and Marriot Terraces.  I think it was end end nearest Chantry Lane as thats where the large terraces houses are.
