You didn't mention the year.

This is all you should've copied from the streets directory:

S from Shippen bel 4th

The present-day location would've be between South 3rd & 4th Streets above Monroe Street and accessed off of Bainbridge Street. In 1875 there was a small burial ground there and in 1895 it would've been part of the 4th Ward. By 1910 it was still in the 4th Ward but the name had changed to Silbertstein Ct. It was gone by 1934. It would've been about 330 Bainbridge Street. Put this in where it says to Find Address using the below link:
