Can anyone decipher these places please?
fflint of ....... in the county of Sussex
andrews of ..... Street .... .... ...

Thank you
 
Thank you I wouldn't have got Brighton at all. Can any of you work out what the place after Lancaster Street is? Looking again, the 3rd word might be London?

Lancaster Street. My take anyway. :) Probably wrong.

Well the other one certainly looks as though it could be Lancaster Street, Burton Crescent, London. Burton Crescent runs parallel to Judd Street off the Euston Road in Bloomsbury in Stanford's 1862-1871 map of London but I haven't been able to find Lancaster Street yet. It may have changed its name. I'll keep looking.
 
I thought Binton Crescent. Or, Benton Crescent. I can't find evidence of either having existed. o_O

Now that Flook has put it in my head, that 'I N' is looking increasingly like a 'U R'...
 
Yes, Lancaster Street is closely parallel to Judd Street on Cary's 1837 map but appears to have been demolished by the time of the later map. It's on the very left hand side of this map about halfway down. So it is Lancaster Street, Burton Crescent London.

NB Burton Crescent is on the right hand side of this map

Just as a footnote, it looks as though Lancaster Street became Thanet Street (which is still there). There's a photograph of some Thanet Street houses (from The Survey of London) here>

At first I thought Buriton, but that is now in Hampshire, but only just over the border from Sussex, and borders do change
 
Thank you for that, it's very interesting. I wonder why the Andrews are the only people in this will with such a specific address. I can't see anything very special about it, apart from a high number of houses of ill repute!

As far as I can work out, this is Frances Flint b 1787 in Caldecote, Herts
In 1851 she is a visitor with her husband William Andrews b 1791 Spalding, Lincs, at the house of her sister Ann(a) (b 1893 or 1801) and her husband Joseph Barker in Knebworth.

However I can't find them in any other censuses, marriage or death. William's occupation in 1851 was a gentleman.

Can anyone find them in their own house?

I suspect because it is just to pinpoint the address within London which was huge and sprawling compared to anywhere else in the mid 19th Century. The street is now in what we would call north Bloomsbury but that wouldn't mean anything to anyone then I'm sure.
 
Annabel,

There is a marriage at East Lavant, Sussex on 17 April 1824 between a William ANDREWS & a Frances FLINT (source Ancestry's Select Marriages) - perhaps a possibility for your Frances? Still looking for them in census records other than the 1851 though.

Could this be them in 1841?
At the Greyhound Inn, Sutton HO107/1079/8/Folio 7/Page 7
Willm. Andrews 50 Victualler
Frances Andrews 54
There is also a son Willm. aged 22 and a few other people.

Ann
 
Thank you everyone. If these are all the same people, then they certainly moved around a lot!
It could be them in 1841, but I can't see anything about the Greyhound that gives me any clues. Or the birth of a son William with a mother Frances. Maybe he was born at this marriage place, East Lavant?
