COMPLETED - Road name, Plumstead Common
Does anyone have a talent for deciphering writing? I've been trying to make out the road name on the attached for ages.

Ever wondered whose idea it was to put "Warning: a certificate is not evidence of identity" on a DEATH certificate?!

Re: Road name, Plumstead Common
I've found reference (on a very poorly OCR transcribed page) to a Tillae Road in the Blackheath Gazette in 1894. http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/34370024/ if that helps.
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.

Many thanks SRD. I will sign up for a trial. Didn't find the name at all on Google which seems unusual.

Re: Road name, Plumstead Common
The only Road that I can find (using the street index for 1891 census) is Villas Road. RG 12/537
I know that you are not looking for quite that early, but it is the double ll at least. Otherwise, I wondered if it could be Kilne Road, but I can't see that anywhere.
There is another road, crossed out, on the left of the image. What does that say?

Re: Road name, Plumstead Common
Thanks guys. A brilliant piece of detective work. It's an odd name. It still looks as though the writing says Tillae although it's Tiliae.
Many thanks G
