Help to Identify Location in Katarina församling

[John Friberg]

Greetings,

Can anyone identify the location referenced in this 1864 birth record for Selma Paulina Bergstrand, which looks to me like it could be Stadsfrigatan No. 51 (which is perhaps the same or close to Stadsgården)? Any assistance with that location would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Best,
John

It says Stadstr.gt., I.E. Stadsträdgårdsgatan. This street was 1885 divided in two parts, one northern, which was renamed Nytorgsgatan, and one southern, including no. 51, was renamed Värmdögatan. The latter was in 1939 renamed once again, this time to Malmgårdsvägen.

Thank you Stefan! This is wonderful information that I would never have figured out without your help. Much appreciated.

Best regards,
John

Hello John!
I forgot to write that the number, 51, is the same all the time.
I also found that the address some 50 years ago was changed again! Today the address is Nytorget 13.

Below is a link to two photos from the address, One is taken 1915 and the other some years earlier. They are almost identical, taken from the same spot and angle. The only differerence is the number of children in the foreground.
