Hi I'm looking for a second opinion on the place of birth for my 4X Great Grandfather James Richardson a painter living in Richmond,Surrey on 1881 census ref on Ancestry: RG11; Piece: 844; Folio: 101; Page: 9; Line: ; GSU roll: 1341200. It says City, then ? Hospital Rd ,I think. I'm not sure if its Queens Hospital Road. Any advice please. On other census he always states London so this is important to try and verify correct baptism & Parental info for him. Many thanks Jenny

Jenny, I thought I'd be smart and google 'queens hospital road' london. All I got was a message on Rootschat from a certain Jenny asking 'Where is Queens Hospital Road'!!
