Help please with road name
« on: Sunday 28 February 10 21:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm trying to work out the name of this road in Tooting, Surrey.

I think, judging by the T in Thomas, that it begins with a T   but then I'm stuck!!

All help most welcome.

Thanks
Paula

OK, so I've found a second baptism on the same day!! This is a bit clearer, although still means nothing to me

Ellen Rose Jackson was born 1864 in Battersea. Although she says her husband is George James Jackson, she appears to be a widow in various census, and both my cousin and myself have found no evidence that she ever married!!

1901 she's in Godalming.

Hi Paula,

It looks in the second image as if the road name starts with an "I".  "Iverclie"  ???
Have you tried looking through this site to see if anything fits?

I can't immediately see anything but I'm not familiar with south London geography!  ;) ;D

Cheers

It looks like Frenchie Road to me.   However, there doesn't seem to be a road of this name in the Tooting area, although there is a Franche Court Road...

I agree with justmej, it does look like Iverchie Road but the writer seems to be very accurate with his dots and there is a dot above the word in the first example.

I agree second looks like Frenchie Rd. The first I think could be Trevelyan Rd. There is one in Tooting. (that means ignoring the apparent 'dot' I know....
