Many thanks for the suggestion Ricky (have earmarked it in favorites for future use), however it doesn't work in this case.  I'm wondering if my GGGrandmother made up an address....
It looks like Thurstow Road, Hackney, but could be Churston, or.........
It was only a thought!
Thanks all for your help.

Best to put up an image of the certificate for deciphering, if you need another opinion as to the street name.

I'm not sure if I've done this correctly, but I'm sure you'll let me know if there's nothing readable attached!
If anyone can identify the address, & find it on a census, I would really appreciate it.

Wow, Pauline!  8) Just goes to show that another pair of eyes can see things differently - I would never have seen Spurstowe Road!  Could you possibly explain how I can view these entries using the folio numbers?  Do I have to search through all the pages or is there a more straightforward way?

OK,

In the search boxes at the bottom of the Ancestry page, just enter piece and folio numbers, no names, places or anything else.

Then open the original images and start reading...

Well, many thanks to all who helped.  I have now made a search up and down Spurstowe Road, and there is no sign of My GGGrandmother or her family.  It was only grasping at straws, but I learnt a lot about making more use of Ancestry.com, so was well worth it!
On to the next challenge.......
