Hi, Chuck,

There is currently no South Richmond Street (and there hasn't been
ever since I can remember - I was born and grew up in Edinburgh. I
came here to Arizona earlier this year). However, there is a West
Richmond Street (off Nicolson Street - note spelling). There is no
David's Street, but that is probably what is now Davie Street, which
is off West Richmond Street.
The church building you refer to may well still exist, but not
necessarily housing that congregation. The name doesn't mean anything
to me. You may find it useful to contact the people at the following
address who will undoubtedly be able to help you identify the
building:

Edinburgh Room
Central Library
George IV Bridge
EDINBURGH EH1 1EG
Scotland
