1921 death certificate -- what happened to Devonshire Street W1?

[queencorgi1]

You will see from the attached image (General Register Office) that although R.V. Millard lived at 105 St George's Street, Pimlico, he actually died at 45 Devonshire Street on 3 July 1921. I wondered who lived at that address? Was it perhaps a nursing home or similar? However, when I tried to trace the address in the 1921 Census on both Ancestry and FindMyPast I kept getting the message that Devonshire Street W1 didn't exist -- which it quite clearly did, having looked it up on Google Street View and seen its architecture -- in fact no. 45 did. Nor can I see an indication that the street's name was different in 1921.
Can anyone clarify this for me? I've traced addresses in the censuses before and not had a problem. As I say, what I really want ideally is to find out why Millard died there and not at his home -- from the sound of it he must have been ill for some days at least, if not a week or two.

45-46 looks like a nursing home. Search by Address.

He is there. 

I can't give you more info as it's the 1921.

Interesting that the person "causing the body to be buried" gave a Canadian address.  Even if they worked in the nursing home, you'd think they would have given their London address.

Yes, I was surprised! Usually it's actually someone present at the death, isn't it, or a relative? Millard was Canadian, but I can't see that Gates was a relative.

I tried searching by Address, of course, on both websites, but Devonshire Street itself, let alone no. 45 just didn't come up. As I said, I haven't had this problem before and can't see what the issue is. A nursing home would make sense, but I'd just like to locate the actual citation.

I think the phrase "causing the body to be buried" is usually used by a member of staff at the  nursing home, hospital or prison etc. rather than the usual "present at death".  I could be wrong and I'm sure a much better informed Rootschatter will advise if I am.

If it helps,  it's in St Marylebone, W1.

We can't give you the details but if you go into address search on FindMyPast, and put in Devonshire Street and Marylebone, London  W1, you should get it.

I got it in about 2 mins.
