The Durand close estate was built over the top of the site of these prefabs, typical 1960's estate.

Which itself was demolished recently with a new estate built.

or Streatham

A Mitcham burial could also be the London Road Cemetery. https://www.merton.gov.uk/births-marriages-and-deaths/deaths/cemeteries/london-road

I've found quite a few of my ancestors on the 1939 register where the birth year is a year out, day and month are correct though.

Hi all 
Does anyone know where to begin if I wanted to find records of certain pubs and when they changed names?

London and Middlesex / Re: Bigamist grandfather?
« on: Friday 12 April 19 13:04 BST (UK) »QuoteOn the 1939 register, a Charles Theodore Martin born 10th September 1895 which is my grandfathers name and birth date. This Charles is living with Emily E Martin.
What is her exact date of birth.
She says 30 Oct 1899, not 1900.
Quite a few of my ancestors on the 1939 register have their birth one year out.

London and Middlesex / Re: SMITH family of Coach Trimmers - Lambeth/Southwark early 1800s
« on: Tuesday 09 April 19 13:36 BST (UK) »
There's marriage banns for William Smith and Susannah Langridge between March and April 1837 at St. Mary's Church, Beddington, which is quite near to Sutton. Unfortunately no parent names on the Banns.
I don't think certificates started until a couple of months later.
