james_phillipson 2 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 HI. I'm trying to locate a Abel Place, which was in the St Peter's district in Nottingham town centre, I believe it to have been mid way of Carrington Street late 1800's and disappeared sometime around 1901. I would like to find a map showing Abel Place. I hope has some information to help me find it's location. I am currently trying to fill in some blanks in my family Tree. My great grandfather's family was Chambers and I'm told the were in the fabric or lace trade, unfortunately, any census records are not available yet, so I'm trying to find any information of a Chambers family known to have lived in Thurmans Yard and Traffic Street in the meadows, I believe around the 1920 to 1940. I would appreciate your help to answer these questions. I thank you in anticipation on look forward for help. Many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 The 1939 Register is available on the FindMyPast website (quite like a census), so it's worth having a look at that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,674 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 A bit earlier than you asked for but an Arthur Chambers living at Thurmans Yard , Orchard St. was fined for mistreating a pony in April 1891. There are numerous adverts , mainly house-lets up to about 1914 for Abel Place , in each case they just say Carrington Street . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Abel Place, so named because the Abel Collins Almshouses were just up the road. The entrance to the yard was about where the mock-Tudor place is now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have the above map in my collection dated 1881 with a scale of ten & a half feet to the mile or 1/500 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 As the map is dated about 1881 The tram lines would have been for horse trams which at that time ran from St Peters Square to Trent Bridge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james_phillipson 2 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi. I'm trying to find information about two families, the Chambers and Barton, who I believe to have lived in Houses between 32-54 Traffic Street close to the junction at Wilford Road. I'm not quite sure about the date, I think it would be late 1920 to 1940. If anyone can help with any information, it would be very helpful. Thank you.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
