Help finding a London street please

[Loopy Linda in La La Land]

Have just received the birth certificate of Jane Glasspool born 1848 at 4 Norfolk Street, Lambeth.

Looked on quite a few sites but can't find it anywhere. Would like to know it's whereabouts so I can do a trawl through 1851 and try and find the elusive Glasspool family on there, although they may have moved by then.

I have an 1894 Ordnance Survey Map of the area but I think the road I want may be just off the top of it.

Thanks

Linda

Norfolk St, Lambeth is on the 1881 census (which is address searchable on Ancestry) but it only had 11 house numbers, so was presumably a very short street - maybe a close or even just a terrace of houses. In 1881 it was in enumeration district 27. If you then look at the description of that district, it mentions Norfolk St as being "on the east side of New St". I found New St on Greenwoods 1827 map of London - it seems to have been renamed Newburn St on the modern map, between Orsett St and Sancroft St. Therefore, Norfolk St must have been around there somewhere. It's no longer there, and in fact is not on Booth's map of 1898 either, so must have gone by then even.

Found it! It was Norfolk Place in 1851, then Norfolk Road in 1861/71/81. Unfortunately your Glasspools weren't there in any year. The heads of household at No 4 were:

1851 - Philip Coates, HO107/1572/187/24
1861 - William Harper, RG9/347/11/2
1871 - James Watts, RG10/666/111/24
1881 - Emily J Gardiner, RG11/597/59/32


Cheers,

Hi Richard,

That's so kind of you

They are being VERY elusive on 1851. I have them on every census after that. Albeit mistranscribed as Glappool on one census and having George the head as 22 instead of 42.

On the 1861 census the are living at 22 New Street (right next door?)

Oh well off for another search

Just found a Norfolk Row on a current London Streetfinder map right in that area so you are probably right it may have just been a little row of houses

Thanks again
