I have a birth certificate from 1838, where it looks like the address is 12 Dunstan Place, Ratcliff, Stepney, London. I have tried to find if this street ever existed but so far no luck. Does anyone have any sources of info where I might be able to see whether this is a valid street. Many Thanks Martin

It existed in 1901. If you do an address search on Dunstan Pl Ratcliff, there is a number 12 which was occupied in 1901. Kath. x

I've checked the Charles booth maps and cant find it. googling gives a St Dunstan's Place, Kingsland Road, Stepney. in 1858 No exact modern equivalent but there is still a Dunston road and a Dunstan street off of Kingsland Road My other guess would be somewhere around St Dunstan's Church - it may be worth contacting the East of LOndon family History Scociety

Hello Martin,

I know this thread is a bit old, but we've just found ancestors in Dunstan Place in Ratcliff in 1851.

Location wise, it was here:
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?txtXCoord=535740&txtYCoord=180954
Select the 1919-1921 Town Plans (1:1056 scale) and then zoom in on the centre of the map, you should see Dunstan's Place.

On a modern map it's been flattened by the Heckford Street Business Centre (or The Highway Business Park):
