I have looked through St Martin's CD which covers 6 August 1899 and agree with Rosie entry 179 is for George Bayliss .
I also checked several years previous and after just in case (I'm transcribing some parish records at the moment and a few of the pages are out of year order) but as you have...

I agree with John Young's comments re doctor's writing skills, I am a (retired) medical secretary and on occasions have had to resort to asking Consultants what they have written in patient's notes and sometimes, but not often, they themselves had difficulty deciphering their own writing.
Looks like Rentham Street to me, but can only find Wrentham Street which runs from Bristol St to Sherlock Street on the map, maybe a spelling mistake, but could be the road doesn't exist any more!
