Hello!<br />
<br />
I was hoping someone could help me better understand the location in which I found my gg-grandfather's family (found thanks to Caroline Bradford - Charles W. Metcalfe, Charlotte, Charles H. and George T.) on the 1861 census. I've attached a jpeg image of the sheet.<br />
<br />
Although it seems clear that the Parish is St. Bride, City of London, Municipal Ward of Farringdon Without, I'm not sure how those all relate to each other. I have five questions:<br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
I was hoping someone could help me better understand the location in which I found my gg-grandfather's family (found thanks to Caroline Bradford - Charles W. Metcalfe, Charlotte, Charles H. and George T.) on the 1861 census. I've attached a jpeg image of the sheet.<br />
<br />
Although it seems clear that the Parish is St. Bride, City of London, Municipal Ward of Farringdon Without, I'm not sure how those all relate to each other. I have five questions:<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> According to Ancestry, the county was Middlesex. But according to <a href="http://www.1861-census.co.uk">www.1861-census.co.uk</a>, the county was London. Wikipedia (of which I am often skeptical) said that London was in Middlesex until 1889, when London became a county itself, which would put the London of 1861 in Middlesex. What’s correct??<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> Can anyone make out the street name on the sheet? I think it is Harp Alley, but I'm really not sure.<br />
<br />
<b>3.</b> I'm confused about how to express the location in my records. Of course, I’m used to the method of listing locations from smaller division to larger, so with U.S. locations it’s [city or town], [county], [state], [country]. I’m just not sure how that translates. Would it be Farringdon Without, London, Middlesex, England? Or would it be St. Bride, London, Middlesex, England? Or something completely different?<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b> Can anyone recommend any reliable resources (online or otherwise) for when I have these questions in the future? I’m ordering civil birth and marriage records for this family, so I see further confusion ahead.<br />
<br />
<b>5.</b> This has nothing to do with the location: I'm trying to read the occupations for Charles and Charlotte Metcalfe & I can't make out the 3rd word of his and the 2nd & 3rd of hers. His is Book Binder [ ] and hers looks like Infant [ maybe "School"? ] [ ]. Also, just to double check, I read Charles W. and George T.'s birthplace as Middlesex St. Marlylebone, Charlotte's as Nottingham [ ], Charles H.'s as Surrey Brixton.<br />
<br />
Whew! That's a long one! But I appreciate any help you can provide.<br />

I have found them as far back as approximately 1800 to John Gould born Shrewsbury but can't find anything else about John such as his actual birth/baptism record etc. Can anyone help with either of these families? Have you ever heard of the "Brixton Hill School" in London?tag:www.genealogywise.com,2009-07-13:3463583:Topic:338742009-07-13T01:41:49.558ZKathleen Fox Allenhttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/KathleenFoxAllen
Some research on my great-grandfather, George Thornton Metcalfe (b.1859 or 1865, England; d.1918, New York,) indicated that his father, Henry, was the Superintendant of the Brixton Hill School in London. I have done some online research in an attempt to find this school, but have been unsuccessful.<br />
<br />
The only other information I have on Henry Metcalfe is that his wife was a Charlotte Thornton, and they had one other son, Charles Henry Metcalfe (b.1857 or 1862, England; d.1938, New York.)<br />
