Hi All,
I ordered a BC on a whim and it arrived today and is who i thought it was!
It gives the child was born 1882 in Chelsea Workhouse, named as Sybil but no surname, father left blank but the mother is the person i'm interested in (she was my GGGM). Her name is Rebecca Beasley and she gives her address as 10 College Place, Chelsea - I've been trying to find this address on the 1891 to see if that turns up anything but I cannot find it???

Is it possible to do address searches?

Thanks for looking

Address searches can be done for 1891 on Findmypast.

It does show up but I have no credits left to view the details.

Chances are they are no longer at that address.

Here it is the address in 1891, but looks unlikely that it will be of any help to you.

You should be able to do an address search on the 1881 census. Instead of putting College Place in the street address box, try just putting in College.

This street is still there today. This address is from Google Maps:-

College Pl
Kensington and Chelsea, London SW10

UPDATE - Sorry just realised you wanted 1891.

I can be done. If you have access to Ancestry. Go to UK census collection; scroll down click 1891 Engalnd; then scroll down and click London ; then click Chelsea and then you would have to search page by page!! Unless someone knows a simpler method??

Has the request changed from 1891 to 1881?


1881 there is a Rebecca Beasley living in Chelsea

In 1881 Rebecca was a servant living at 5a Sloane Street Chelsea

There might be some sort of clue here. This is 1891, and the "Lybil Taylor reads Sybil on the image.

Thank you all

It is 1881 that i'm looking for....
In 1891 Rebecca was living in Limehouse and 1881 I believe the Sloane Street is her but she gives the address on her daughters BC as this College Place so was wondering who was living there in 1881 (the year before she had her Sybil)

I have tried searching street by street on Ancestry but got bored after page 60 and thought there must be a simpler method!

Sue C - That is correct and Minnie, Sybil and Ann are all Rebecca's children (none of which have fathers on their bc!)
I must learn how to paste the info over (sorry)

Thomas Elliott is Rebecca's uncle and later goes on to father my GGM but thats another story .......
