Hi All
I have a copy of an ancestor's marriage certificate but cannot identify their address.
I interpret the handwritting as "80 Servell Road". This is the address of the bride, and the marriage took place at the parish church of St George the Martyr, Southwark, on 19th Dec 1915.
Can anyone identify where this is?
The bride's father and family have a history of living in Southwark area 1881-1901 census records, although the bride was actually born in Brewery Road, Islington in 1896

Hi Vic
Is there any more of the address other than 80 Servell Road?
I've got a 1937 London map and there are a couple of Sewell Roads but they aren't in Southwark. No Servell anythings listed.

you could try looking them up on http://www.historicaldirectories.org to see if they are listed

Hi Dawn,
Sorry, that all there is, other than that I assumed the bride would live in the parish of St George the Martyr, Southwark. But see below
Fudgecake, that link is brilliant. Thank you. It couldn't find Servell Road, but with fuzzy logic switched on it came up with a couple of hits for SCOVELL ROAD, LONDON SE1, i.e. Newington/Southwark - exactly where I wanted it to be.
Originally I included the groom's address in my post, but deleted it as too much info before posting it. His address was Collinson Street, Southwark, which runs parallel with and is the next adjacent street to Scovell Road!
Another satisfied customer, many thanks! :D
