hi John it's been a while since i transcribed that part of the 1841 but if memory is correct it was at the register house end as it also covered canal st which is now waverly station etc. The enumerator had written lodging house keeper on numerous occasions and it had been scored out and brothel keeper written. also lots of ladies had occupation as dressmaker and this was also scored out and prostitute written. You'd have to look at the original OPR film to get the exact house street numbers etc<html><DIV><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive" color=#660099>June <IMG height=12 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/emsmile.gif" width=12></FONT></DIV></html> > From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]> Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:26:10 +0000> Subject: Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] 1851 street map of Edinburh> > Interesting , I have just checked a sample of Rose Street 1841 Census (No's > 130/150) and can find no mention of Brothel/Prostitute ..

Good evening June, Many thanks for that and have passed it on to my friend for her use ! The east end of Rose Street makes sense as farther west one went the more "respectable" the occupants became ! As I said previously many of the new owners of houses in the first New Town ,who had moved from the Old Town, brought their dressmakers, miliners etc with them and in many cases paid the rent of their houses. These were mostly west of , what is now, Hanover Street . Thanks again. Regards John John D. Stevenson Edinburgh [email protected] > hi John > > it's been a while since i transcribed that part of the 1841 but if > memory is correct it was at the register house end as it also > covered canal st which is now waverly station etc. The enumerator > had written lodging house keeper on numerous occasions and it had > been scored out and brothel keeper written. also lots of ladies had > occupation as dressmaker and this was also scored out and prostitute > written.
