Looking for address Duke Street, Kensington NSW

[janjim]

Hi,
I am trying to find an address for my Grandfather, when he arrived in Australia from England.  Charles Edmund New from Newbury England, is shown in a 1913 registry in Sydney as living at "Braeside" Duke Street, Sydney.    I had been informed that the family had a corner shop at Kensington at some time after they came to Australia, but was not sure of the time span.   We know that they were then living at Banksia Road, Bankstown in 1916.
Was wondering if anyone would have a map of this area, Kensington, around these years.

I am wondering if "Braeside" Duke Street, Sydney was in the suburb of Kensington. I had a look on TROVE entered "Braeside" Duke Street and up popped enteries for "Braeside," Duke-street. East Balmain. Balmain is an inner city suburb of Sydney.

"Braeside" was in Duke St, East Balmain.

eg this obituary from 1912

According to the 1912 Sydney Sands Directory, David M JONES (in the obituary above) was at 4 Duke Place (off Duke St) Balmain. There are 2 other names at the same address. In 1914 at 4 Duke Place there is a Louis JONES "Braeside".   Can't see a Charles Edmund NEW.

There is a Charles E NEW at Albert St, Strathfield in the 1913 Sydney Sands Directory.

Modified to add:
In 1914 there are 2 entries for Charles E NEW - at Albert St, Strathfield, and another at Banksia Rd, Bankstown.

In the 1913 Wise's Directory, Charles E NEW is also listed at Albert St, Strathfield.

Where do you have him at "Braeside, Duke St" ?

[Neale1961]

“Braeside” was in East Balmain (as already explained), but there was also a Duke Street in Kensington

When Charles Edmund New enlisted in the army in 1916 however, he was living in Bankstown.

I think this may be a different man - Charles ERNEST New.

Thank you all for your input, sorry I have taken a while to respond.   My Grandfather Charles Edmund New migrated to Australia in 1912, firstly they went to Melbourne for three months.   The work option was not satisfactory, so they made their way to Sydney, where eventually they bought land at 7 Banksia Road, Bankstown (Greenacre).
I note that I did find another Charles E New at Strathfield, but definitely not our family.  My father was born at 7 Banksia Road, Greenacre (Bankstown) in July 1913, so I believe that they had built their home at this address by that time.
I was not aware that my Grandfather enlisted for the Army in WWI, so maybe this is the other Charles Ernest New from Strathfield.
I found this notation about Charles E New living at "Braeside" Duke Street, Sydney as a Hint on Ancestry, and assumed this was my Grandfather.    Yes I see there is a Duke Street at Kensington, so immediately thought this was him, as my Father had informed me in the past that they had the little store at Kensington.  The information I found at this address for Charles E New was in the Sands Directory.
That's about all I can tell you, I was particularly looking for the years that my Grandfather had this store.   Later my Grandparents moved to 63 Little Street, Bankstown (Yagoona)
Thanks so much for all your assistance. Jan

I wonder if you could give me more information on Charles Edmund New enlisted in the Army in 1916, living at Bankstown.   Cannot find any further information on his service.
