Most sources say JP was born at "Pensbury, Clapham" - i.e. with a single "n".

[NB Isn't "Pensbury Place where Isabelle [Duval] lived?] It's next to/north of Wandsworth Road station, off the Wandsworth Road - now possibly remembered as "Pensbury Place". Is it historically Clapham or Battersea? Clapham, I think.]

Or is it "Pennsbury", on Clapham Common North Side?

AI says: [Thomas Cubitt and] The creation of the Victorian Clapham Park

Pennsbury, the name of a house in Clapham, was located on the north side of Clapham Common. It was the residence of Samuel Pepys in his later years and is described as the "Great House" where he lived with his clerk, Mr. Hewer. The address is specifically given as 64 Clapham Common Northside.
