Thanks Radcliff and Michael - we'll be watching football tomorrow - probably a different kind of football, and we'll probably have a beer (or two).  ;)
What team are you (or did you) watch?
Lois

PS: re Anastasia - there was an Anastasia on my father's side of the family. She and her husband one of the first to come the the US (from Germany).  She became known as Anna.  Coincidences are amazing!

Anastasia was a popular name in Kilkenny where I believe the Fennelly family originated from. A lot of Irish immigrants who first settled in the Walker district were from Kilkenny.

The following childhood account might give a clue to the address you are seeking.

"September 1st 1939 Travelled with my mother to stay with my maternal grandparents at Broad Oak, Heathfield, Sussex. This was considered a safer area than Ilford. (Nationally, in the first few days of September more than 1.5 million schoolchildren and mothers with children under school age were evacuated from the big cities to escape the expected intensive bombing campaigns,)"

Also this:

"With the outbreak of the second world war in 1939 Sussex was declared a safe area and many people were evacuated to Heathfield and Waldron from London".

Perhaps they had moved south and were later evacuated.

Good luck,
J.T.A.

 St Anthony's of Padua, RC church in Walker.

Baptism
Born 25 Sept 1906, Bapt 14 Oct 1906, East Terrace.

------------------------------------

Baptism
Born 27 Feb 1910, Bapt 20 Mar 1910. East Terrace.

Godparents.   William Drew, Maria O'Hare.

 Annotations. Confirmed 22 or 23rd Dec 1925 ( couldn't read name of church)
                     Married Benjamin Powell 6 Feb 1935, St Peter's, Wollwich, London
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------


 I could not see any baptisms in this church for Agnes c1924 or Eleanor c1927.

As with quite a few RC churches there was a handy surname index in alpha order.
There were several Fennelly bapts in 1860-1870 period ( but me short of time today ! )
