Thanks Mike,
as you say it's a bit confusing that there appears to be no back houses behind 29, just re-checked birth certificate and definitely is 2/29. I can't think what else it can mean. I have just looked at Street view and the building on the corner looks like an ex Victorian pub from the style and looks similar to the 1905 map and I see there is what looks like an alley on the Essex Street side of the "pub" leading to an courtyard type area behind number 29 maybe that's where it was, funny way of numbering though.
