Summary
Map of Milton Ernest
This map shows the location of people mentioned in John Turner's ‘walk’ letters of Good Friday 28 March 1834 and 2 May 1834. Each of the inhabitants is identified by a MEW (Milton Ernest Walk) reference that corresponds to their MEW reference in the chapter ‘The People and Places of John Turner's 1834 Milton Ernest Walk Letters’.
Locations on the map marked by a black star are not exact; they show a person's place of habitation that is ‘in the vicinity’. Locations marked with a red star are the exact location of a person's place of habitation.
The inhabitants are marked on an 1803 map of Milton Ernest, surveyed by Richard Gee at 11.4ʺ to one mile. The map was provided courtesy of Bedfordshire Archives (MA16/2).
Map of Saint Andrews
The 1878 map of Saint Andrews shows properties owned by Thomas Turner Odell. These include his house, Milton Hall, at 93 Frederic Street. Milton Hall was built sometime between 1855–65 and is an example of Greek Revival style architecture. An article in the Telegraph Journal of 1983 explains that the current twelve room house was once larger, but an eight room wing was taken down.
Thomas Turner Odell's shop on Water Street is marked on the map as ‘Odell and Turner’ (no. 30) but he also owned two neighbouring premises (nos. 32 and 33).
In November 1878 Thomas Turner Odell purchased another property on Water Street, next to that marked ‘T. T. Odell’, from Patrick Quinn. According to the Saint John Globe newspaper: ‘Patrick Quinn and family left here to make their future home in Boston, T. T. Odell purchased Quinn's land, with dwelling house and blacksmith forge thereon, for much less than it cost to build the house’.
Thomas Turner Odell appears to have owned extensive properties both in Saint Andrews and further afield. The Charlotte County Registry Office Records include a number of deeds and mortgages to Thomas Turner Odell including a parcel of land on St Andrews Island (also known as Navy Island).
