Hi All, I've been viewing the site for quite a while now and this is the first attempt i've made at actually making a contribution so here goes.
I've always suspected that when people discuss the address of Thomas Cutbush they are looking at the wrong Albert st. It always seemed odd that Thomas' Doctor was located in Westminster bridge rd. while he supposedly lived a fair distance away in Kennington. Now, i grew up around the Elephant and castle area which is in the London borough of Southwark which borders the area known in Jacks day as Newington and i have discovered that there was an Albert St. (today called Gladstone st.) that ran off of London rd. a stones throw from Westminster Bridge rd. I'm not sure of the date of the name change but the street was still known as Albert st. in 1890 according to the 1890 bacon travellers pocket map of London.
If Thomas in fact lived here then his house is still standing.
If anyone has explored this possibility before i'd be interested to know what they found.
Cheers
Mike.
