A London Street address (death certificate)
« on: Friday 23 October 15 09:02 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me decipher the first line of the entry in column 5 of this death certificate from 1927. I recognise the second line as 'Old Compton Street'

This 75 year old male died in St Pancras Workhouse / Hospital having been an in patient for five weeks.

Many thanks

Alan

Interesting in an odd sort of way.

I see that address is now Melanie Italian Restaurant - but has a Grade II listing on it (Rare survival of early house representing earliest phase of Soho's development) .  Can't see what it was used for in the 1920s - whether private apartments etc.

Many thanks

6 Old Compton Street was a hairdressers' shop in the 1920's (Oscar Weideli) but looking at the electoral rolls there were probably a couple of apartments above.

 1911   census    that  address appears to  have  been   a  rooms to   let type  place had various  people  living  in  it (  mostly    of  European    birth) and  most are waiters  etc

Many thanks for the suggestions.

He wasn't registered as an elector at that address in the Roll of 1927

Yorks Post and Leeds Intelligencer, 9 May 1928
GAINSBOROUGH PICTURES - SHARE ISSUE
Directors
CHARLES M WOOLF 74/6 Old Compton Street, W.1, Chairman

Did wonder if it was "6/6" on the death cert, indicating possible multi occupancy?

Just a thought, have you had a look at the admissions for St.Pancras, they sometimes have an address shown (maybe next of kin), which may help.
