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

Old Newspapers also help.

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.

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...

Thank you Ajax, however I'm not sure this is the area of London I'm after - I'm looking for Marylebone / North London and I think this is the East of London..?
Can anyone help me in my geographical quest please? X

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
