Laurence - looking at the census I think Minster Yard refers to the street rather than a house as several records give Minster Yard as the 'property' name. Street directories for the period might help? best wishes Jane -----Original Message----- From: Laurence E Stephenson Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2012 8:07 AM To: Yorkshire Subject: [YORKSGEN] Richard Stephenson 1851 census I am looking for help. I have found my Great great grandfather (Richard Stephenson) in the in 1851 census. He is in the township of Minster Yard with Beden in York. The house name is Minster Yard, I assume it is a boarding School teaching medicine. The head "Thomas Hanley Barker" is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons etc. I know Richard went on to a medical apprenticeship in November 1851. What I am asking is, can anybody tell me any more about this school.

Hi You should also check the parish maps for York. 'Minster Yard' and 'Bedern' are small extra parochial areas near the Minster. It may be that the reference is to a house within this small area.
