My father was born in a house on that street in 1909.
I do not recall ever seeing his birth certicate.
My cousin Michael has researched our family tree and might know.
If no one comes up with the answer, I will try to get in touch with him.
My instinct tells me that it may have been named after german/prussian nobility, since the next street up the lane is Duke St.
I hesitate to say this but (prussian prince) Bismark comes to mind, but I have no justifiable reason for thinking that was the name - maybe it is a long forgotten childhood memory - my grandparents were still living there in the 1940s/50s
