I have an address from my ggg grandfather's court records that he was breaking in a house in 1832. It was 3 Lock-place Kingsland-road, in the parish of St John, Hackney.

I could not find it in google. I think that street was gone.

Also some witnesses lived on streets were Tottenham-row Kingsland, Newland-row, Union-row Kingsland, Kingsland row, Dalston, Worship-street, Shacklewell-row, Morning-lane and Pigwell-lane.

Could anyone please tell me how to find it in a current map?

Regards, Steven.

Steve,

Kingsland Road is on www.multimap.co.uk

It is highly likely that most of those streets no longer exist. Have you tried looking at an old ordanance survey map of the area?

The earliest one I can find is 1870 so not sure if it will have the streets you need:

You might need to go through the districts for the parish in the '41 and '51 census, these will list the roads withiin the districts in the parish, this will at least give you an idea of the adjacent streets.

I wouldn't be suprised to find it long gone, the amount of rebuilding in London over the years means that only the main thoroughfares survive in many cases and lots of courtyards, terraces, tenements and back alleys have been demolished.

Checking the district images would give you an idea of the area in general for the year the census was taken. Large chunks of London were associated with certain trades and occupations.

A thead "illustrated guide to census searches" has been nudged, it has a link to the guide and shows how to find the district descriptions.

Maybe worth scrolling around the Booth Poverty Map.
This was from later in the 1800's, but you may be lucky. Pick a road that is still there now (like Kingsland Road), the work along it. You may find the others.

Hi everyone, many thanks for your advice.

Is Lock-place Kingsland-road mean a corner ?

I noticed that St Paul's church at Ball's Pond has a school now. It could be close to Lock Place. A owner of the house went to St Paul's church on easter Sunday when my ggg grandfather and two men broke in his house.

Sam, yes I agreed with you. I think it would best to find old maps to be match current maps. I will keep looking old maps.

Cheers, Steven.

Hi Rob, thanks for Booth Poverty Map. It is interested. I am looking at it now. Hopefully I will find it.

Cheers, Steven.

Lock Place is/was probably a section of a longer Kingsland Road.
