So tonight I'm looking at a family in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Looking up the address of 21 Excelsior Road, Kingston Upon Thames from the 1881 UK Census in Google maps, we see it no longer exists and might be now known as Excelsior Close but there is no 21 - highest is now 17. Is this the same address? Well back to the NLS maps we see that Excelsior road, and it now appears to have been cut in half and new roads added. The screen shot below shows them side by side. You can see some of the roads have even changed names... Bonner Hill Rd was Hampden Road. So another thing to think about if the road is not in Google maps.
Link for 21 Excelsior around 1900.
