How to find the owner of buildings and the origin of a street name

[Sandblown]

estiman, Thank You, it's been an interesting Research Project and I have now gained some knowledge of the development  of two areas of London, which otherwise I would never have expected ! Good Luck with any further trails off the Ancestry Path !

I found a newspaper report of a death of typhus in December 1851 of a 10 year old lad, son of a labourer at the Chelsea Wink's Buildings.

I cannot seem to find any Land records noting the owners of the buildings 1840s and 1850s. Unless I am missing something, none on Ancestry.

A Henry Neville of the Battersea Wink's Buildings was knocked by a donkey in 1843 and bitten on the lag and arm, and it became ulcerated.

Hi Coombs,
Thanks for your inputs. I did a 1851 street search on FindMyPast and there are 20 properties listed under Winks Buildings, Turks Row. Still don't know how to confirm ownership, though. However, given the Battersea development conclusions, I'm pretty sure it was the same builder - William Winks.

Do you have the references for the typhus death and the donkey accident?

Cheers

Hi, the 1843 ref is an old newspaper article on FindMyPast, as is the 1851 ref. I typed "Winks Buildings" into the search engine. The old Exeter and Plymouth gazette articles from 1843. Emmet's Family Salve was given to him.
