Census
« on: Monday 05 September 22 04:16 BST (UK) »
I have the 1841 census for my family the Curruthers. The address is Ironside court old physic gardens and the civil parish is Edinburgh Trinity college The occupation of William the father is a comb maker. I have googled this address, and all I can find are articles on Botanical gardens and Trinity church. I'm curious as to the history of this address and did it offer accommodation (which I am assuming it did as the family were living there )and if there are other sites to go on to get a better look at that area around the 1800s onwards Thanks Hereford

Can you post a snip of the address please with surrounding text for letter comparison as 'physic' seems odd (at least to me)?

Sorry - Scroll down the page.  Hopefully attaching an extract.  My understandin - which might be wrong :-\ - is that it was accessed via Abbey Hil

Hi Kay, 99 That would make sense that it's the entrance. I couldn't understand why they would be living in the gardens . Hereford

Have you viewed the original document to check that there are no errors in the transcription?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
