Jan, there is a good possibility that railway workers may have lives in the area, as there was a station opened in 1837 - Curzon Street. It had an enormous goods yard, and my gt gt grandmother, who married a railway worker, lived in Cardigan Street, off Curzon Street and at the time of the 1851 census she was a 'warehouse woman', so one can only imagine she worked in a goods warehouse, and thereby met her husband.
