I am trying to find a street listed on my great uncles marriage certificate. It looks like Fenick/ Ferick Street, just off of Westminster Bridge Road Lambeth, does anyone know where i can look at an old street map of Lambeth

Fenwick pronounced Fennick ... so someone spelled it that way ?

searching the 1881 census at Ancestry there are

Fenwick Pl
Fenwick Rd

in Lambeth


edit

1911 shows only Fenwick Place ( or Palce ) Stockwell SW Lambeth

numbers between 1 and 44

The family are Herbert & Emma Knights. It could be miss spelt or translated, it definitely looks like Fenick Street , have looked on the 1901 census, they were living at 1 Robert Street Lambeth, i can't even find that on the map. :-(

Could it be Finck Street?

Have a look at this map from about 1940. There is a Finck Street just underneath Westminster Bridge Road (below the dark red area on the left of the map).

At one end of Finck Street is Boniface Street and at the other end is Upper Marsh Street.

It is somewhere between Lambeth Palace and Waterloo Station.
