My reply was that some of Picton Street was in the parish of St. Barnabas and some in the parish of St. Andrew, Montpelier, in 1911, though I don't know what the situation would have been earlier. In 1911, the odd numbers of Picton Street 1-39 were in the parish of St. Barnabas, while the even numbers 2-58 and the odd numbers 41-49 were in the parish of St. Andrew. Montpelier.

I find this very useful when looking up addresses. If an address is not in it, I then turn to the Alan Godfrey Old Ordnamce Survey Maps of Bristol. Street Names of Bristol: Their Origins and Meanings (2002 2nd. edition, Veronica Smith, is useful in finding out the history of Bristol street names. Picton Street is named after Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton who died at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
