I have a birth cert. with place of birth as Comrie Street, West Brixton, well that's what it looks like to me.

I was born in Brixton but can't seem to find it. Anyone else got any ideas?

Thanks

Linda

What year are you looking for?

My mum was born in Brixton in 1918 but the road no longer exists either - it may be that you'll have to check an old London map - there are a few of those on line.
