Miner Granddaughter Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Hi, my family are showing on the 1871 census as living in Charlton Buildings in Bedlington. The enumerator has gone first to Ridge Cottage, then Charlton Buildings then to West End to give an idea of his route. Anyone know where the Buildings were, please?

Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago @Miner Granddaughter - had a search of the group and no trace that I can see for Charlton Buildings or Ridge Cottage. You may have already looked at the old maps but just incase you haven't the following show the Ridge Farm on the 1858 map and Ridge Farm + Ridge Terrace on the 1896 map but Ridge Cottage not identified. The West End of the town is the area around what is now known as The Red Lion and down the West End Front street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miner Granddaughter Posted 6 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Thank you for such a comprehensive reply. The area round Ridge Terrace makes sense as the pit is nearby - they were coal miners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
