Brach Street, Luton
« on: Sunday 16 April 17 13:23 BST (UK) »
Hello

just bought a friend his grandfather's marriage certificate (at St Pauls 1938) living at an address of 9 Brach Street, but we are having trouble finding the details on modern maps.
Can you please advise, thank you!

In the 1917 Luton Directory;  BRACHE Street, odd numbers starting at #1 runs from Bailey Street through to Park Road West.  On the Even number side, Wood Street is joined to it. At #9 Brache Street is W Douglas. I haven't got a street map.

Have you tried looking on the Bedfordshire Electoral Registers now available on Ancestry.

Just in case you haven't found a map already, following John's directions, albeit slightly later (1926)...
