Essex / Ilford electoral roll 1945-6
« on: Tuesday 09 February 10 01:15 GMT (UK) »
Is there anyone out there able to do a lookup on the above for me? I would like to know who was living at 13 Ryecroft Avenue, Ilford, in 1945-6 as it could help to solve a longstanding family mystery.
My grandfather, William Henry Osborne (a provisions merchant assistant) lived there with his wife, who died in 1937, and their son (my father). We believe that sometime between 1939-45 WHO had children (two boys?) with a second partner - my father remembers cleaning the pram! Soon after the end of the war, WHO moved to Strood where he lodged with a third lady (Myra Martha Carter), who later became his wife . (Both of them died around 1978-80)
I am trying to find out the name of the mystery second lady (first name may have been Mary) - according to my father she stayed at 13 Ryecroft Avenue after WHO moved out ... but we have no idea whether or not they married. Any help gratefully received as Essex records are a long way away from where I live.
