I have a copy of my ggg grandparents' marraige certificate in 1847.

It says 36 ouchard Street. It is impossible that it was "Orchard" Street. O is small letter that is strange.

Please anyone can help me what name of the street. I have attached the certificate if anyone can PM me and I will attach it to you.

I am trying to find it in a map.

Thanks, Steven.

Hi Steven

You cant attach anything to a thread but you can send an attachment by PM

Send it over to me and I'll take a look

Hi Gins, thanks. I have just PM you with attachment of the certificate.

Cheers, Steven.

Did you 'sort' it Gins, anything we can view online?...

Chris :)

Hi Chris, not yet, I have not heard from Gins.

I can send you my attachment into your PM if you like?

No worries Steven, will see how Gins goes!.
Just wondered if it was online...

Hi

Which area in London is the street - does it say on the cert?

(Assuming it is London!?)

No problem

I was just checking the 1851 to look at the address

I cant see them in 1841 to check the address?


The Parish is St John Westminster

JanineAnnie. There is no area in London. It is in Middlesex.

Orchard St and New Peter St (Grroms address) are next on from each other near Oxford St, so Id say thats the correct address

Gins, thanks.

Mary Ramage was with her grandfather, Thomas and his second wife, Mary Ramage in Northumberland.

William was with his parents, Thomas and Hester and his brother Richard in Middlesex.

That's fine - I just wondered if the 6 could be a 'B' and and therefore the 'o' is showing as small letter making it a 3 as the house number. Just a thought

Gins, really, Orchard St is still there. I found New Peter Street before. I will check London map again.

Type this into google maps


36 Orchard St, Mayfair, City of Westminster, London W1H, United Kingdom

(place and map search on above might help with area, although only to 1834)

Chris :)

You can search this London map up to 1868

National Library of Scotland have the old O.S. maps which are excellent for this sort of thing. I guess there's an equivalent in England / Wales...The British Library maybe? Google maps are searchable by streets which still exist - often not the case.
