Help please with road name

[Barbara.H]

Could it be Ivanhoe? 

Again this means ignoring the dots

There are classic-novel-themed road names in the area e.g. Hereward, Selkirk. I can see a Robinson Rd and a Crusoe Farm on the Old Map site for 1896

Thanks for all your thoughts. After looking and looking and............I thought it was Iverchie Road, BUT after speaking to my cousin it appears that one of the other children were born at Trevelyan Road (from BC) Wonder if the vicar used an "i" for a "y"??

Thanks again

Just interested  and puzzled but isn't the second entry a (5years later) different record of fact, and the entry for the baptism,Dec 1882  'bm' transcribed word for word from the previous....certainly in a different hand.

 Perhaps it was the transcriber's best  attempt at rendering  the 'mystery' address...presumably then Trevelyan??
Is it clear what event was being recorded on  May 7th 1897??

I think you will find that he was born in 1892 (Birth registered Jan. quarter 1893, Wandsworth 1d 831) and baptised on 7th May 1899.

All the baptisms on the page from which the second extract is taken also contain the date of birth the squiggle above the word December is actually the word 'born'.

And looking at the source of the first extract, the date Dec 27th 1892 appears in the column headed 'alleged date of birth'.

They were both baptisms on the same day by the same vicar, but the first one in the parish of "the epiphany" Stockwell, and the second in "St Andrews" Stockwell. Can only think the vicar was having an off day and when he took his notes to write up he couldn't remember which church he had baptised poor Thomas in!!!!!

And still not convinced by Trevelyan Road, as nothing seems to fit. I guess it will be "one of those" mysteries.

Thanks again

Although both entries note the clergyman as John B Sharp, they were surely written by different people.

I think the actual baptism took place in 'The Epiphany', which was a Mission Church, but has then  been copied into the registers of St Andrews, which was the 'mother' church.
The Epiphany is mentioned here http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=49766
and here http://www.southwark.anglican.org/downloads/lostchurches/STO03.pdf

A note in the margin of the St Andrews Baptism register on the relevant page says 'Epiphany Mission Church'.
