Chapel Street,St Pancras,Marylebone
On 1841 census g/g/g/grandparents are shown at Chapel Street, St Pancras, Marylebone. Can anyone please confirm this is the Chapel Street renamed Tottenham Street, off Tottenham Court Rd?

Can you post some more details of the 1841 census entry please, Vita, so we can look at it? Such as piece number, enumerator's book number, folio, page, or a link to the image on ancestry, or the names and ages of your 3xg-grandparents?

Sure it isn't still Chapel Street?
Mate & I are hunting the location of the St Pancras Congregational Chapel (now demolished) and we concluded it must be near the modern Chapel Street off Marylebone Road. Tottenham Street was in existence in the 1840s as the people we were interested in had children baptised from there.

NB - does Ancestry provide links to enumeration district descriptions any more? Was trying to do this at the weekend and could not work out how. That should say what area was covered.

This is a description from Charles Booth's notebooks when he mapped the levels of poverty in London streets:
http://booth.lse.ac.uk/notebooks/b356/jpg/127.html This entry suggests it's a continuation of Charlton Street. Then there is this answer from Roots Chat: Why can't I find Carlton St, St Pancras? I think you are looking for Charlton Street, this runs north from Euston Road and is halfway between St. Pancras Station and Euston Station when the road reaches the end of the South Camden Community School (the school was formerly Sir William Collins and before that Medburn Street School ) it turns east and runs for another two hundred yards and finishes at Goldington Crescent. Up until the seventies or eighties Charlton Street ended at the end of the school where Werrington Street was, but then part of Werrington Street was built over and now it only runs parallel with Charlton Street. |

This entry is from Survey of London, Vol 21 - Parish of St Pancras part 3: Tottenham Court Road and neighbourhood:
TOTTENHAM STREET (East end of street formerly Chapel Street) The name Tottenham Street has remained unchanged except for the eastern portion, between Whitfield Street and Tottenham Court Road, which was formerly known as Chapel Street. The numbering is from east to west, the even numbers being on the north and the odd on the south. |
