Shame!  I wonder if that's where all the Dobsons started off!  There are so many in the north.  Thanks for replying.

Hi, I'm new to the website having started family history about 6 months ago. I was researching my great grandfather Joseph Beaver from Marlow and discovered that he had 3 sisters, Mary, Annie and Elizabeth. Combining census results and BMD I discovered that all three sisters married in Maidenhead and in 1901 all lived next to each other in East Street.
Mary lived at number 11 with her husband Walter Gilder
Annie lived at number 9 with her husband Ernest Bond
Elizabeth lived at number 12 with her husband Frederick Baldwin.
Mary and Elizabeth feature in Garden Cottages in 1891 census but I haven't yet found Annie.
I'm intrigued how they all ended up next door to each other as they were all Marlow girls. Anyone got any ideas. Has anyone come across their names in their research.

Thanks

Welcome to RC.  Not much help but there were 2 families in Alwyn Road Maidenhead in the 50'60's.  They were Gilders had a daughter Ann and Baldwin had a son Peter.  Could be relatives of yours?

 My parents were friendly with a chap called Charlie Bond, he was a butcher, from memory in Queen Street. Perhaps he was a son ?

I remember the floods of 1950s - can't remember the year.  I was at the Convent of the Nativity up in College Road & some of the pupils who lived down by the river were late - their excuse 'I missed the boat' quite true as boats were being used to get people out of their homes.  The Convent used to be down by the river but moved in the 40s I think.
