Hello, I have just received a copy of my uncle's birth certificate, which shows he was born at Highfield House on Royston Avenue in June 1911. A few years earlier the family had been living on Royston Park Road, Hatch End. I cannot trace a Royston Avenue on Google. Does anyone know if there was a nursing home named Highfield House in Pinner in 1911, and also what happened to Royston Avenue? Thanks, Nick

Alas neither my 1917 atlas or 1901 Kellys Northern suburbs stretch that far I note that Royston Park Rd is still there. There is a Royston Grove off it and maybe Avenue became Grove and some 3 miles south west there is a Highfield Avenue perhaps a re-name Maybe ask the local council Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-05-21 1:04 PM, nicholas wilson wrote: > I have just received a copy of my uncle's birth certificate, which shows he > was born at Highfield House on Royston Avenue in June 1911.
