Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 77 Send Message	Hello I'm hoping there is someone on here who has access or knowledge of street names and locations during period of 1840-1860's? In particular, FRITH STREET in the Strand and it's distance / location to Barretts Court? Any help is much appreciated Yours Deb xx

	It may be a case of burying yourself in a map and 'walking' the streets, assuming you can find one with enough detail in the right time frame.. A site I use as there is a good range of maps... http://mapco.net/london.htm Chris

	Presumably the addresses come from census? The images usually give the name of the Ecclesiastical Parish. If you can find the church(es) on a map, it might help you locate the court/street.

	https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5131318,-0.1322921,17z (see Frith Street on above, right of Richmond Mews, drag image rightwards until you see Bond Street Tube sign, up above Barretts Street) http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/maps.jsp?map=green&map_item_id=375&tagtype=2&mclass=f (Barretts Court on above) Old Newspapers also help.

	The whole of London is on there...you have to click on the map, then you get a bigger map which is in 72 sections......that was just one of them I wouldn't have given you a link to East London, knowing you were looking for the Strand area
