Following on from this I have found that Devon have a project to digitise the Tithe maps. This can be found at http://www.devon.gov.uk/index/councildemocracy/record_office/projects/tithe_apportionment_transcription_project.htm and I've just found our village on it.

The URLs were in my outgoing message, but apparently stripped when the message went through RootsWeb's servers. Very odd. Let me try this again. Am keeping my fingers crossed. The National Library of Scotland has just uploaded maps of England and Wales from 1842-1952 to add to its Scottish collection. A list by county can be found at http://maps.nls.uk/os/6inch-england-and-wales/counties.html Some other map sites: The British Library holds Fire Insurance maps and plans: http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/firemaps/fireinsurancemaps.html or http://tinyurl.com/lwozamt Don't forget that A vision of Britain Through Time site also has historical maps. See http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/maps/ Tithe maps can be found. For Leeds, see http://www.tracksintime.wyjs.org.uk/. Cheshire tithe maps are at maps.cheshire.gov.uk/tithemaps/‎ Bristol historic maps are at Know Your Place (maps.bristol.gov.uk/knowyourplace). If you had ancestors in London, the Charles Booth Online Archive (http://booth.lse.ac.uk/) may interest you. As well as maps there is a searchable catalogue of original survey notebooks, browsable digitised police notebooks, and browsable Stepney Union casebooks and Jewish notebooks. Old Maps Online (www.oldmapsonline.org/) is a gateway to other map sites. If you know of any more free map sites, do let us know about them. Thanks to those of you who have contributed other links.
