Address help....

[Merry]

Nothing to add to BK6 from this thread

I'm trying to find 22 Norfolk St, Park Lane, Middlesex. This address appears on two probate entries, one in 1879 and the other in 1892. I just need to find the adress anywhere! On a census, on a current map....whatever!

That last article says that Norfolk Street was renamed Dunraven Street

Dunraven Street

This street was laid out in the 1750's. Originally called Norfolk Street, it was sometimes known as New Norfolk Street in the nineteenth century and was renamed Dunraven Street by the London County Council in 1939 after the fourth Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl, a former resident of the street, who had been a member of the L.C.C.
