Hi Jan Great Guildford Street was and still is in Southwark, just south of the river Thames and very close to the Globe Theatre so you should be able to find it on Google earth or Streetmap.co.uk. However it is also listed as Guildford Street, Southwark, in the A to Z of Victorian London. There is also a Guilford Street in Guildford which is a County Town in West Surrey Regards Keith Jacobs GOONs Member 3453 Researching the Baggarley name worldwide see http://www.baggarley.one.name

Hi Keith, Going back many years ago there were no A and B roads, they were called road names to where they eventually lead to, in this case Guildford Road/Street must have eventually lead to Guildford. In Guildford there is the Portsmouth Road, this is the old road that leads to Portsmouth. Our roads have changed now with A roads Bypasses and M roads Motorways, the B road are the more minor roads. Hope this helps. Kind regards Barbara Lewis Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants.

Not necessarily so although obviously it is possible go there from Southwark. Liverpool Road in Islington does not lead directly to Liverpool, but was named after the Prime Minister of the day, Lord Liverpool. Roads have also often been named after former landholders, who sometimes had geographical surnames. Jay

Thanks Barbara and Jay. I had guessed that the Guildford Rd may have been the one that led from Southwark towards Guildford . I guess it's also reasonable that our family may have came to the City from Guildford and settled in that road on arrival there. It's all so very interesting!!!
