    Default Warlingham Lane, Warlingham/Croydon

    Hi,

    Would anyone know where Warlingham Lane is/was? On the 1891 census there are two households living on that lane which is part of Warlingham, they are headed by William Botting (age 52) and Thomas Davies (age 63). Just before on the census are Hamsey Green Cottages, and directly after is Mill House and The Green. I have also seen a reference to a Warlingham Lane near Croydon, however.

    Thanks for any help.

    If you give us the census references we might be able to work it out.

    Thank you for posting the ref, Christina. I should have included it in the first place, and thanks for looking.

    You have to look at other censuses as well.

    In 1901, William is living in Croydon Road, and the following entry is Alfred Hemsley.

    In 1911, Alfred Hemsley is still living at The Elms; census reference RG14/3266 SN24
    The enumerator's list details
    Hamsey Green Cottage - uninhabited
    The Elms, private house, Mr Paton
    The Elms, private house, Mr Hemsley
    Croydon Road, Mr Tappenden.
    Village hall
    Farleigh Road, where all the houses seem to have names, beginning with Ivy Cottage, and The Laurels.
    About seven houses along there's Paddock Cottage, the forge, an unnamed private house, The Meadows, and Farleigh View to name just a few.

    Richard Tappenden actually lists his address on his household schedule as The Cottage, Croydon Road, Upper Warlingham.

    The enumerator's list prior to the one with Alfred Hemsley on, lists Whytleafe Dairy, Old Lane (where the only 'house' is a caravan in field occupied by Mr Cooper and five others), The Homestead, seven addresses for Court Farm Cottages, Court Farm, Batts Farm, three addresses for Batts Farm Cottages, Hamsey Green Farm , and two occupied Hamsey Green Cottages.

    I think the 1901 census was 'walked' in reverse order to the 1911, if you look at the page prior to William's entry, as it lists Croydon Road, Wesleyan Chapel, Ivy Cottage, The Laurels, going backwards from William.

    On FMP 1939 register once you find an address or in this case the area of Warlingham and scroll down you have an option to look at maps.This gives an idea of where the address was at that time to now. It looks as though it’s now possibly housing.
    Choices are:
    Modern map
    1937-1961
    1888-1913

    Genius suggestion, Pamela.

    If you look at the 1888-1912 map, and locate Warlingham Court Farm, with Batts Farm just across the road, go up the road, and round the corner to Hamsey Green Farm that follows the listing in the 1911 census.

    seven addresses for Court Farm Cottages, Court Farm, Batts Farm, three addresses for Batts Farm Cottages, Hamsey Green Farm , and two occupied Hamsey Green Cottages.
    The enumerator's schedule then continued
    Hamsey Green Cottage - uninhabited
    The Elms, private house, Mr Paton
    The Elms, private house, Mr Hemsley
    Croydon Road, Mr Tappenden.
    Village hall
    Farleigh Road, where all the houses seem to have names, beginning with Ivy Cottage, and The Laurels.
    So I reckon that Warlingham Lane became Croydon Road, and it's Croydon Road to this day. I reckon William lived somewhere between Hamsey Farm and the 'green' (triangle on maps)
    On the 1888-1812 map there looks to be a building just above the N of Warlingham, and another just below the N.

    The URL delivers the 1912 map - click on the 1896-1897 map for an "undeveloped" view of that area.
