208 Great Russell Street, Hockley

I’m just following up on an address that my grandfather was born at. It appears that it’s a front street facing house and was Mrs Lings Fried Fish Shop according to Kelly’s. I think my great grandad maybe shared the premises with his grocery business and Mrs Ling.

My question is what court was behind 208? My grandad was one of 5 children born in Great Russell Street, but the birth sequence went 35 court, 208, 35 court, 208, 35 court. I can’t see them moving back and forth between the same house over a 8 year period so wondered whether 208 fronted 35 court?
 
It look like court 36 was behind 208 (entrance between 206 & 207) and court 35 was behind 203/204.

Is the address place of birth or residence because you could be born at the first and not be living there.
