202 St Mary’s Road somewhere in London - where?

[Ruskie]

Good thinking about the enumerations districts Jool. Could the higher numbers be in yet snouther district.

Hi Annie.  Yes, Caroline Millard’s occupation might give a clue (even if she was not living at that address). Though many years earlier, has anyone found her in the 1911 census or elsewhere? Maybe she is listed as a “midwife”.

District CBNS has some even numbers for St. Mary's Road low 30's to 148 but nothing higher. 

I hope this link to Old Maps works. If you don't see a map click the minus button a few times, top left of the map. The map will appear

As far as I can see, 148 was the highest even number in St Mary's Road Plaistow.

Edit see jonw's posting, which indicates I was wrong about the numbering!

PO London Directory 1940
The number 202 is listed in St. Mary's Road

Looking at the cutting jon has supplied, number 202 is after the junction with Rochester Road, so must be about here https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/541067/183656/12/101068

Thank you all for your continued help with this, I have just logged on this morning.

So we have:

1932: caroline Millard applied for freehold of 202
1936: my cousin’s birth was registered and the address given as his birth in summer of 1935 was 202
1939: no mention of number 202 in that road
1940: a tiler lives at 202.

I’m not sure where to go from here. Did his mother make up an address that did not exist as his birth place perhaps?

202 must have been where this new build is located on the corner of Rochester Avenue:

There was something there in 1939: https://maps.nls.uk/view/104194803#zoom=7&lat=9034&lon=8877&layers=BT

I thought it might be on the other side of the road (see my previous reply) as that is where the even numbers were.
Here's number 162, which precedes number 202 in the snip jon provided

In any event, we are both looking at the same end of St Mary's Road

I think this single dwelling house could well have been number 202.

It seems to be the next house along after number 162.
