  • Lowestoft help please?

    I am trying to find Osborne Street in 1901 but I have trawled through all of the 22 districts and can't find it anywhere. If someone could tell me which streets it is close to maybe I could find it.

    On TNA version there's no Osborne anything in Suffolk except a single household in Aldeburgh called Osborne House.

    Are you sure it existed then? (they might have mis-spelled it!)

      I just found it on streetmap Streetmap.co.uk

      Put Osborne St into search and it comes up.

        I've found it in a 1912 street directory, but not before that.

          Thanks very much Merry and Gwynne. That may explain it, as I know that it existed in 1920 but I was hoping it would be there in 1901 too.

          Will have to try to find them another way

              Lol No Merry - almost as bad though, it's Wrights lol

              It's a bit complicated actually I think I may need to put another thread up when I get my head round it and know what it is I can't find

                    You know that 1912 street directory you mentioned - it doesn't have names in it I suppose?

                      Seems to be a trade directory rather than a street directory, and there are only about three entries for Osborne St. (No Wrights!)

                            Merry - see my saga

                            Thank you Stella - I will go and check as I'm sure I remember seeing St Margarets road on 1901.
