I have an ancestor born in Newsom Green York, (which I can't find on a modern map). I assume it's between Cawood and Leeds because that's where his siblings were born. I am hoping I have found this guy on the 1901 census but it says he was born in Otterington, (also not on a modern map). Does anyone know if these places are close by??? thanks |

Newsam Green, hamlet in Templenewsam township in Whitkirk parish, eastern edge of Leeds. North and South Otterington are parishes near Northallerton, nowhere near Leeds. But there's also a Newsham near South Otterington... |

Hi If you're looking for places, especially in UK, but also other places in the world: http://www.*multimap.*com/ http://www.*streetmap.*co.*uk/ the name says it all! http://www.*ordnancesurvey.*co.*uk/oswebsite/Has lots of stuff (of course - incl rather nice photographic calendar "wallpaper"). If you follow the link to Get-a-map, that gets contemporary maps, and then there's an associated link from Get-a-map which calls up a 19th century map of the same area. Christine |
