Southampton - Where are these places?

Nor in 1871 either

Frustrating.

Looking at Thomas Humphrey Smoothy (England)'s marriage certificate, his father's name is given as Thomas Henry England - Corn Merchant.  I can find no exact candidates assuming that she used the real father's name but her own father was a Maltster so he may have stuck to what she knew.

There are a couple of Thomas England's in the vicinity but nothing that gives me any other clue.  I did think the name Humphrey might also be a clue but got no further with that, either.

Oh well.  One day a DNA match might pop up that solves the mystery.

Any further thoughts that might give me another angle to consider would be greatly appreciated.

This map has lots of the terraces marked.
I haven’t quite figured out where I should be looking on it

Dorset Terrace apparently used to be on west side of Waterhouse Lane near the north end in Millbrook. Found it on this useful site

This map shows a row of houses at that location https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/439745/113490/12/100642

It was very common for rows of houses on a main  road to be called *** Terrace, and are not normally named on maps.

Funnily enough, I found it in 1901 us far too late to be any help.  I also found Lower Dorset Terrace in 1891, both are on Waterhouse Lane but no mention at all in 1861 or 1871.
Of course, it may be that whoever lived at 1 Dorset Terrace was a midwife.

That's a brilliant map, Stan.  I will have a lot of fun with that.  Thank you!
