Calling all Researchers

[protohistorian]

I was thinking you could set up a file sharing account that contained the census results and just post the link. Thats what I did. No cost to me, no cost to others, and data gets a very broad distribution. It is a thought anyhow. Dave

[protohistorian]

I have a request Mr. Hinton?

Would you collect the 1891 results for this area? Dave

[Debra A]

Dave, there is a site with some 1891 London census transcripts and index here, searchable by street, not sure if this is the information you are asking Bob about but thought I'd post the link anyway.

[protohistorian]

Thanks You Debra

That will certainly give me a start! Dave

[Bob Hinton]

Sorry mate not absolutely sure what you want.

clarification

Debs gave me a link to get me started. Are these results transcribed? are they by street? Dave

Requests

In making my last kmz I noticed some pages missing. Could someone with acess to the 1888 postal directory photograph (digitally) or scan the following pages. pp. 438-439, 262-263,194-195 and 500. It would surely be appreciated. Dave

and another request

Does someone have the listing of registered common lodging houses within the area on the map? Could someone point me in a direction? Dave

[Bob Hinton]

Grateful thanks

My sincere thanks to Mike for carrying out the research I needed in Portsmouth. He has managed to unearth previously unseen information about the case I am working on - not JTR before you ask!

Hello Dave,

Yup, these two threads seem to seem to have overlapped...take a look at the H division Common Lodging House list on General threads.. unless it was my good self you referred to?

In any case, many thanks for the help with the plotting and maps provided!

best wishes

Phil

I understand they kept a log of each new lodging house that was registered by year, does anyone know how we could generate a composite picture of lodging houses? I will troll through the postal directory if someone tells me what I should look for ( like the word chambers ). Also on the google earth II thread I posted a pic of what I understand the state of the community's knowledge on the police presence in the area. Could this be narrowed down. I am no longer at university and can no longer request materials.until I get a job the best I can do is point out areas of potential research. Dave

dickens dictionary

The Dicken's dictionaries contain fixed duty points of police officers. I am plotting the 1888, does someone have or could someone scan 1887 and 1889? They are listed under fixed points. Dave

[Janner]

Not sure there is anything I can add from these here parts - very little connection to JtR, but happy to help with anything Plymouth, Devon & Cornwall related.

Regards

Andy

Thanks Janner! You can check and see if your local library has any Dicken's Dictionaries, and what year they are from. Dave
