1879 Holborn address query
« on: Monday 01 October 18 12:30 BST (UK) »
Good day

I have a marriage certificate of my ancestors Joseph Wright and Jessie Stranack in 1879, St Georges Church, Parish of Holborn. The address for both is 5 Victorian Dwellings. Would anyone know what this would refer to please? Was it perhaps a boarding house of some kind or a workhouse? ???

It's "a tenement at the junction of Faringdon Rd and Clerkenwell Rd ".
