I am researching my Family History and in the 1891 census my maternal great grandfather is recorded as living at Chesterfield Terrace, Silvester Road. I can locate Silvester Road, but I cannot find Chesterfield Terrace. I wonder if anybody has any information about Chesterfield Terrace.

Hi - There is a Chesterfield Grove nearby, but it's possible that Chesterfield Terrace was the name of a few houses on Silvester Road. I used to live in Rodwell Road and there were plaques above some of the houses stating another name. My house and my neighbours had a plaque that said 'Rodwell Villas'. If the census states 'Chesterfield Terrace, Silvester Road', this would probably be true.

Or it could be the name of an alleyway off of Silvester Road, but I have a map from the 1880's of this area and it doesn't show any.

Have you checked the 1881 and the 1901 census? I have access to them if you would like me to check for you.

With thanks for this information. I am inclined to agree with you. Since my first posting I have discovered that 1-9 Chesterfield Terrace was in Underhill Road and 2-8 Chesterfield Terrace was in Silvester Road. I can see from the map that they run parallel to each other. The number of my Great grandparents' house would in fact be in Underhill Road. It almost looks from the Google street-view map that an access road that goes to a small car-park now behind that section of Underhill Road could in the past have been a roadway. I do have access to the census, but thanks anyway.
I have lived in one of the houses that was Chesterfield Terrace, Silvester Road, for the past 40 years, and it is called that on my Deeds. There was a small block of houses, which are now numbered 57 - 67 Silvester Road. I also do Family History.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
