Lauder biographer Gordon Irving presents the argument that Harry was not born in Bridge Street at all, a theory shared by the grandson of the doctor who attended the birth.  They both believe Harry was born in an even smaller house around the corner in Bridge Street Lane, although he was later carried to his grandparent's home in Bridge Street where he remained for some time.
