	I've just received a marriage certificate dated 1870 that has my rellie living at 7 Robert Street, Woolwich. The marriage is registered in the Woolwich district. I looked on the old maps site and found a street in Plumstead with this name. Does anyone know if this is likely to be the correct road? It appears from a modern map to still be there now. Does anyone know if these could be the houses which were there in 1870?

	Woolwich and Plumstead run into each other. Robert Street is in 2 parts. My daughter lives in Woolwich and most of the houses are victorian or older. I would be very surprised if it is not the same one you are talking about. There is a site www.Ideal-homes.org.uk that might confirm things. Shirley

	Cheers for that Shirley. I suddenly seem to be getting the answers to all my questions at once.
