1891 census finding address

[Tracy McGinnis]

Er det mulig å finne husadressen fra denne posten? Det var min oldemor. Jeg lurer på om huset fortsatt står og vil gjerne besøke det hvis det fortsatt står der. 

 

Is it possible to find the house address from this record? It was my great-grandmother. I wonder if the house still stands and would like to visit it if it still stands there.

I am not sure you can find the exact house, since the enumeration circuit is just called: Sannergaten and more streets.

 

This is the circuit 253:

The list of the actual streets show on the next page:

It may be the street Holsts gate, with the correct house list number 21 b:
 

 

 

(The names of the enumeration cicuits in this census from Kristiania are mostly transcribed terribly incorrect.)

 

There are other local censuses scanned, but here you would have to scroll page by page with the hope of finding the family. The address is given on the front page.

Holsts gate 10 is correct.

The last link shows the street Holsts gate seen from Vogts gate. The building no. 10 is on the right hand side in the photo.

 

Holsts gate is situated in the district Sagene/Torshov.

Thank you so much for the replies. I'm a bit confused when I look at the area on google maps. I don't find a 21b listed. Does that mean the building no longer exists? If it is of any help, the surname is Retvedt and the entire family was listed in the census there. 

[Anne-Lise Hansen]

The house number is no. 10 in Holsts gate. (21b is the enumeration list number, only.)

Ah!  So, the building on the right of this pic, yes?

[Anne-Lise Hansen]

Yes, correct. 🙂

Tram no. 11 or 12 to Biermanns gate from the Central Station.

Tusen takk!!! I've been trying to figure this out for a long time so this makes me very happy 😃

[Tracy McGinnis]

Thanks for the tram information, too!

On another question, this photo is from 1922 or 1923. Does the ground work look familiar to anyone? I think it's in Oslo, but can't be sure. It was amongst my grandmother's photos. You may need to click on the photo to see the ground. 

[Anne-Lise Hansen]

Interesting pattern on the ground. I do not recognize it. First I thought it was below the Royal Castle and by the park near the National theatre because of the width of the street, but I’m sorry, I am note sure.

[Tracy McGinnis]

Thank you, Anne-Lise. I'll follow up that idea.

Oh I didn't realise that was the rule. I will change it now. Thanks 🙂
