It is of course a fairly modern phenomenon for ordinary working people to own their own homes. My Victorian, Edwardian and later ancestors would have been renting. People who are renting move around more, so there's a large number of residences mentioned in these records. Most of them sound rather pokey and grim. Some of the places I've mentioned I had to find the location of via old maps and street directories - as far as I'm aware, they were cleared in the post-war years. So I thought the information was worth sharing here, in case it helps anyone else.
The first two addresses mentioned have their own pages, as they were particularly important in this family history. Other streets mentioned on these pages are listed below, alphabetically.
The bulk of this information was gathered from the Hull Street Directory of 1892, transcribed on the GENUKI site and accessible via http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Transcriptions/ERY/Hull1892StreetsIndex.html.
Home to several generations of the Lamb family. See separate page on Abbey Crescent.
My mother grew up here in the 1930s. See separate page on Ada's Terrace.
On my modern map of Hull, north of Freetown Way, Reform Street and Francis Street run parallel to one another, roughly east-west. Alicia Street was in the area between these two streets.
In the area of Waterworks Street and Savile Street. The latter apparently still exists, while Waterworks Street doesn't - but it seems from my map that it is now a part of Paragon Street - between the location of the old docks and Paragon Station.
Emily's Place was off Osborne Street, to the south-east of Paragon Station. A very clear and neatly-written description of this enumeration district on the 1861 census has enabled me to place it fairly precisely. It was on the north side of Osborne Street, in the section between Waterhouse Lane and Anne Street. It appears that there were eight courts or courtyards off this short stretch of street in the 1860s.
Marcus Lamb was born at Upper Union Court, Gt Passage Street. Great Passage Street still exists on my more modern map, south of the railway station, where Hessle Road meets Ferensway. Off this street is an Upper Union Street, but I can't see an Upper Union Court.
According to my research, this was somewhere off the present Cumberland Street, (off Wincolmee) alongside lots of other small courts or courtyards, called Mary's Place, George's Place, Henry's Place, etc.
In the area between Paragon Station and the Queen's Dock (now Queen's Gardens), near Edward Street.
I don't imagine they're still there, but they were off West Street, in the central area, near the docks. As you would expect, the two people mentioned in these pages who were connected with ships both lived here at some point - John Lamb, shipwright, and Edward Neylon, boatman.
As far as I can tell, this was to the north of Paragon Station, off Spencer Street.
This was one of many small terraces off Waterloo Street, to the north of Fountain Road. Both streets still exist, but in a truncated form. Waterloo Street used to run across Fountain Road at right angles to it. It's interesting comparing the modern map to the one I have from 1928. The Victorian streets were straight, on a grid like system, whereas modern streets always seem to curve - often for no apparent reason. The modern Waterloo Street bends like a banana, in 1928 it just went straight, no messing around. Verona Terrace was on the left, in the area now occupied by Goodrich Close. Not far from Abbey Crescent (see above).
In the central area, off the present Bond Street, north west of the Queen's Dock/Queen's Gardens.
