There would have been a cenusus Dutch,,but that wont be any use as it wont be released till 2072,,!!

There would have been electoral,

Perhaps a google of the road will show what type of houses they are,,,,

Censuses aren't made available for 100 years, so the next one due to be released is the 1911 census.

He would no doubt be on the electoral roll.

Just put Glendale Drive Wimbledon into google - you get lost of ''for sale'' - it would give you an idea - seems to be lots of flats/maisonettes

If you put the address into Google, then click on maps, you can get a satellite view of the area.
