Registry of Deeds: Union Street Research

[Wexflyer]

Thanks so much to everyone, you've been both patient and kind with my ignorance.

I feel much better prepared to do the research. No doubt I'll be posting again looking for help with decipering 18th century script

Just to warn you - some writing clerks were wonderful, others will fill you with despair.

 In those days (late 18th Century) Great Marlborough Street ended at the corner of Lower Abbey St. then called Ship Buildings. There was a narrow lane to the riverside called Ferryboat Lane or Union Lane 150 years ago. When this lane was widened this short street to Eden Quay was for some years after 1776 called Union St. before it became merged in Marlborough Street
