George Mercer born about 1880

Hi all, I have an update I have checked and 17 Canton Terrace did exist indeed I have found someone who’s mother used to live in the very house, but much later. It was demolished like a lot of those houses were. I have got a copy of my grandads original birth certificate and the address is definitely correct.

Hi Sujepero, that's really useful information
Does your grandads birth certificate show the registration in Carlisle, with a birth date of 9th April 1912, or registration in Shoreditch with the home address at 17 Canton Terrace? 
There is a baptism on 29th September 1912 in St Johns Hoxton for an Alfred Mercer (snipping attached) with the residence address of 20 Linton Street, Carlisle, suggesting the parents have come down for the baptism in their local church.
