Try the Post Office Directory. In that period "trade directories" became comprehensive, sometimes being full street directories. Looking at directories before and after the date of interest will at least tell you whether the street (Park Walk) was still being developed. Incidentally, I suspect the "mansions" were purpose built as flats, not as a conversion. I had a similar case in Fulham where the address given on a marriage certificate was in a street only half developed in the 1901 census. It might be worth asking the Land Registry, though I suspect a flat like that would be leasehold. regards, David Hawgood
