COMPLETED THANKS

[JOOBLES]

I’ve just received a birth certificate for someone in 1873 but I’m struggling to find the location of the address.
I realise street names changed and places were demolished but if anyone could help I would be very grateful.
I’d like to find it on a map !

It is…….  1,New Street Cottages, New Street, East Street, Lambeth.

How many ‘Streets’ does one person need in an address ?!!!!

Many thanks

Update, New Street was off Princes Street so we’re getting nearer !

1,New Street Cottages, New Street, East Street, Lambeth.

In the 1871 census, 1 New Street Cottages is listed immediately after "New Street, East Side".

So might that be East Side rather than East Street?

If you got the certificate from the GRO it's most likely a transcribed copy and errors do creep in.

Ah that’s interesting.
The certificate is a copy of the original entry rather than a recent handwritten one.
It clearly says East Street.

How many ‘Streets’ does one person need in an address ?!!!!

It was common to do this, I think for small streets, and where there was more than one street with the same name in an area

Here you can see New Street running between East Street and Union Street on this 1871 map:
