pre ww1 guildford
« on: Friday 09 October 09 19:42 UTC (UK) »
Would anybody have any knowledge of the Mill Mead area of Guildford,  my father was in born in 1909 at 
    9 Wiblins Buildings, Mill Mead, Guildford, U.D.
I realise that many buildings in the area have succumbed to the two world wars but I have tried to find either photo's or plans of that area prior to ww1, to no avail.

My granddaughter is at Surrey University, Guildford and often goes down to Mill Mead by the river and she would also like to get a sense of where her Great Grandfather would have lived.

My G/Grandfather  although on my fathers birth certificate is marked as occupation, "scaffolder" later worked for the company-  'Dennis Brothers Ltd' in Guildford and I have tried to obtain information from the Company but they also no longer exist, they are now a separate firm under the name of  'Dennis Motors' and say they cannot help me.

Would be very greatfull for any help in expanding my research,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Go to the Google Book site.  Type in Dennis Brothers Ltd on the search line and you will get some hits.

Don't know if you will get what you're looking for, but you will be able to find out some things about the company.
