Finding a London Street - West St Somerstown
OH's 3xg-grandfather and his family lived in the same street in St Pancras from 1822 until after the 1841 census.
Dau and I are going on a shopping trip to London tomorrow ad I wanted to incorporate one bit of family history whilst we are there, so I thought to visit this street//area would be nice. However, firstly I cannot find what happened to this street since 1841 and I also cannot find it on Greenwood's Map of London 1827 or a couple of other contemporary street maps. Sooo....clearly it existed as I have quite a few records mentioning their address as between number 13 and 46 West Street Somerstown. The 1841 enumeration district description page says: All that part of the parish of St Pancras situated on the north side of the New Road comprising Judd Place West, West St, James St, Skinner St on the West side, Brewer Street on the west side, Brill Yard, Perry St on the west side and Perry Terrace. Here's a link to that. I found Judd Place East (not West) and a couple of those other streets on Greenwood's map and a couple of the other streets, but not West Street. Can anyone help please?

It was just leading off Euston Road it's between Wilsted Street and Skinner Street. Between Euston Station and Kings Cross Station facing Judd Street. Map dated between 1862 - 1871.

Although OH"s ancestor moved to Southampton in the mid 1840s his siblings and their descendants stayed in Somerstown foe several decades. Perhaps we should be comparing surnames vita !

nearby Seymour St & had three or four other addresses in the immediate area too. G/g/g/ grandfather was buried at St Pancras Chapel, which I believe is even closer to West St. Always feel at home when I arrive at Euston station!
