Addresses for 1881 and 1882 marriages

[MacGrigor]

Morning all,

I have down two marriages in my records:

William Goddard and Elizabeth Harding née Stockton, married at All Saints, Battle Bridge, 20th of November 1882.
George Dudley and Elizabeth Goddard née Smith, married at the same church, 3rd of October 1881

Could anyone please tell me if there are any addresses listed and, if so, what they are? I’ve been going down to London to photograph surviving houses, churches, workplaces, and so on; so would love to visit anything that’s still standing or find what’s on the site (I have a very useful mapping tool through university that I’d be happy to help any other users with).

Also, I am en route currently to visit the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford — my second such visit after going to Hertford a couple of months ago.

Best wishes,

Adam

Surely the addresses will be on the marriage certificates?

FamilySearch is showing 9 William Goddards on the 1881 census.

Or, do you mean the address of the church?

The original All Saints building was opened in 1838 and for a time was known as All Saints Battlebridge or Battle Bridge. Its location on the corner of All Saints Street and Caledonian Road was redeveloped in 1977.

Thanks all — sorry: I did mean the addresses of the marrying parties. But thanks for the history Neale1961! I will go and visit the church too.

Well, I'm not 100% certain that I have the correct North Street, but here, in the correct general area, is a North Street and North Street Mews, Town Plan, overlaid on a modern street map. If this doesn't work for you, it suggests that North Street aligned precisely with the modern Chitty Street and that North Street Mews was the area enclosed by (modern) Chitty Street, Whitfield Street, Howland Street and Charlotte Street. North Street itself seems to have only a few houses so my guess is that no. 37 was in North Street Mews which doesn't appear at FindMyPast in an address search for 1881 (it only appears in 1861).

Added: Chitty Street appears in FindMyPast address search in 1891

I'm afraid not - that's Fitzrovia, not at all the right area for Battle Bridge. The correct North Street will probably be the one that ran north off Pentonville Road and is now called Northdown Street (London N1)

ADDED
Looks like no. 37 is still standing (according to StreetView, and assuming the house numbering hasn't changed).

Thank you Bookbox. I was so uncertain about this, that I didn’t do any follow up on ‘my’ North Street. Happy to be corrected.
