32 CROFTDOWN ROAD
HIGHGATE ROAD N W

32 LISSENDEN
MANS HIGHGATE ROAD N W

Which one would be closest/correct one I would look at via Google maps?

Clevedon Mansions (postcode NW5 1QP) and Lissenden Mansions (NW5 1PP)
are both in Lissenden gardens, here:

Croftdown Road is a little further up Highgate Road. I leave you to
work out how your ancestors managed to live at 3 different No 32s :-)

At a guess, the first and the third would refer to flat number 32 in
Clevedon Mansions and Lissenden Mansions respectively, buildings which
might have had any number within Highgate Road.

I've had a quick check of the Royal Mail's postcode site, but not found
a trace of either of these "mansions".

Hmm, works for me, although there is an oddity on the RM site that you
sometimes have to enter the search twice, the first one returning you
to a blank form.
