Cannot read address in Guildford, Surrey 1881.Help?
« on: Saturday 19 March 16 16:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi, My Gt Grandfather - in law was living in Guildford  at an address shown on the 1881 Census - trouble is we cannot decipher the Adress shown. It's .......? Cottages.
Perhaps someone out there in Guildford can make out where it is please?
Attached image.

Cheers

Barbara.

Hi rosie99,

Looks like a good bet. Any idea if there is such an address still in Guildford?

Thanks, barbara.

Could it be short for Primrose Cottages?

Can you post a snippet with an 'r' in the middle of a word - or give the census reference please Barbara?

There are still cottages called Pimms Cottages in Burpham, just trying to get my bearings it is in the right direction. I don't have maps on this computer

It's not the one in Burpham. It's Pimm's Cottages, Bright Hill, Guildford.

The census enumerator's walk was in parish of Holy Trinity, starting at South Street, then Sydenham Road, and house in Mr Pimm's garden to and including all the houses on Charlotteville Estate then Babington Place, Bright Hill etc...
