Hello David,
It might well have been, but, this sort of thing was commonplace back then, I recently looked at a member of the Matabeleland Mounted Police for a member of this forum and the address given in WO100/77 was Milfield Road, Clapham, London, however, it actually should have been Millfields Road, Lower Clapton!
This can be all too time consuming and is often a real pain! :(
Kind regards Frank Kelley

Do you think the Terrace part was a mistake?

I checked a 1901 directory and there were no businesses on Picton Terrace but Picton Street was included.

I can't find a 1901 streetmap to confirm.

Best wishes
David

Good Afternoon Frank, David and Paul.....

Thank you for your answers....

Since I post most in the evening when you are all abed.....

First thing in the morning after I get my coffee I always check my porn ops and then the best forum in the land to see what kind of answers that have shown up.....

Guys all I can say is they are greatly appreciated.....

Again thank you and all members that have posted....

Actually, bed does sound rather inviting though, as does a wee dram first! :)
