Duncan Inverarity 8 Alfred Place, Plymouth

Hello, can anyone in Plymouth please tell me where 8 Alfred Place, Plymouth, would be, from a will of Duncan Inverarity in 1883?
I've had no luck on Google Maps, unless it's changed to Alfred Street?

In 1881, 8 Alfred Place was a lodging house.

I looked at the 1881 census for the address.

Ok, did you find his name, because I can't? I suspect he may have been in NZ at the time, I'm checking on that.

I'm f you use street view and go to the end of the road you get to a white door with no.9 in n it. Zoom in and turn slightly to the right and no8 is the open door way with the dark frame, it has an 8 on the left. Is labelled 9 on street view

Ah, well spotted, thanks very much Edwina!

Yes Edwina, but when I look on street view there's no number 8. Only 6,7,9.

Following on from this, I cannot find a death or headstone record for Duncan. Can anyone help please?
As far as I understand, he died 31 Aug 1883, at 8 Alfred Place. This comes from Probate Calendar.

Possible he was buried in Ford Park Cemetery as most churchyards in Plymouth were fairly full at this time. You would have to pay for a search to be conducted and to obtain details of his grave from the Cemetery. I believe The Box have indexed Parish Burial Registers for Plymouth and have a searchable index on pc if your visit them. The other option would be that his body was returned to his place of birth or where other family members were buried. https://www.ford-park-cemetery.org/cemetery-services/grave-searches

Ok, thanks very much Chris.
Does anyone else know any more? Seeing as I live in Australia?

I doubt anyone would unless related to the person on watching this board. You can research the same as we can on the web and sites from any place in the World. You have been given some help as to where to find the information your require. You could use sites such as Findmypast that have newspapers available to see if he is mentioned, or Ancestry, both of these are available for free in many Libraries, Archives, History Centres and all LDS Centres in Australia and Worldwide. Or pay Devon Family History Society for research help, click on the Tree House Research links on this site.

I found his listing on Memorials for Ford Park, so I'll follow that up now.

Thanks, I've done heaps of searching on those sites already, which is when I turned to here. Being a great granduncle or so, it's not worth monetary investment, but thanks anyway. As he didn't appear to marry or have kids, and his full brothers both emigrated, I doubt it will come to fruition.
Cheers.
