Does anyone know when did Hanbury Street change its name from Brown's Lane? I have read that the change to Hanbury street was in about 1804, but I have seen an 1874 ordnance survey map which still names the street as Brown's Lane. |

There's a map on-line dated 1827 which also shows it as Brown's Lane.
Apparently the stretch between Commercial St and Brick Lane was called Browns Lane, but then from Brick Lane to Spital St was called Montague St. then from Spital St. to the High St. (later incorporated into Great Garden St.) was called Preston St.
All subsequently were incorporated as Hanbury St. sometime between 1873 & 1888.

Thats just a rudimentary search......

Hi, in response to your query re Browns Lane, it was known as such in the 1846 Directory of London.

A clickable map of Hanbury street is now available at:
http://casebook.org/official_documents/census/hanbury-street.html
As you roll your mouse over each individual building you will have the option to view that building's inhabitants as listed in the 1881 and 1891 census listings.
Thanks to Chris Scott for the census data!

Thanks very much for that, Stephen and Chris. So both the Nichols and Chapman murders occurred close by a Barber's Yard. Weird.

This is great, Stephen and Chris. Planning on eventually doing the other sites as well?
Edit: Oops, I see now you've got the data up for the others. I think it would be cool if they were linked with the maps of Whitechapel that are in the Victorian London section--you know, click on Hanbury Street and that takes you to the map/census information you've put together.

Hi David -
Yep, eventually it'll all be hooked up to maps - but its a fair amount of work, so for the moment we've just got the raw data up for the other sites. Soon, though.

Hi, Stephen
I should've known you already had that in mind (grin). I think this is a fantastic tool.
Cheers,

Ah that is fantastic!!
You know what it might be nice to let people who might be looking for that surname know the data i s on the sight. I don't know if it is possible to be bothered posting info say on ancestry.com message boards or rootsweb or something?
Anyhow that is great to look at!
