Hello Jan,                                              1851 Census 5 King Street Carlisle James          Johnston    Head    Mar      32            Hosier       Sulport(Parish)   Cul Margaret             "          Wife     Mar      29                            Carlisle                " Margaret             "          Dau                   4           Scholar      Carlisle                " Mary                   "         Dau                   2                            Carlisle                " Thomas               "         Son                   5 mths                   Carlisle                " John                    "         Lodger    Un      21           Grocer      Carlisle                "                                          Sadly these houses no longer exist having been demolished a good number of years ago and the area  now consists in the main of small industrial units. The houses in King Street and neighbouring streets were terraces houses - alot of them being built back to back with a  shared yard which would have shared facilities. IE - Wash houses where clothes were washed and outside toilets often shared You may wonder why I say sadly - truth is these houses were on the edge of Botchergate with all manner of shops and easy access right into the heart of the city and instead of a programme of renewal and modernisation it was decided to rehouse the occupants on a brand new council estate out of town. But that's another story. My Parents and Grandmother had friends who lived in this area and we used to go visiting. . Hope this is a little bit of background information for you - but as you can see no clue as to mother's maiden name. Regards AudreyM
