I am trying to identify when this street was built. Can anyone enlighten me?
What kinds of people lived here? Any census info for no. 33?
Thanks

Can any rootschatters find James after 1891?

He was born 6/1/1880 in Hollingworth St Camberwell and was with parents Thomas Joseph and Annie in Sultan St in 1881 and  in 4 Beckett St on the 1891. His father dies between then and the next census, though I havent found his record

No sign of James Thomas after 1891-can any sharp eyes spot him?

I've hit a dead end with my Kemp family and hope to get some ideas and/ or fresh eyes from you as a last try

Sarah Taylor married James Kemp in Great Yarmouth 3.6.1811

They had three children in the town before moving to Camberwell around 1818 and I have all their records from there. My problem is going back another generation

There are two possible Sarah Taylor baptisms in Yarmouth

1789-George Taylor and Sarah Sterry-has been excluded as this one was still in Norfolk and still a Taylor post the marriage date and witness at the later remarriage of her mother
1783-William and Elizabeth-a possible, and both family names but too early from all subsequent census record dobs, which admittedly ranged from 1789 in 1841 to 1784 & 1786 (as she had two entries on the 1851) to 1793 at her death in 1853
1785 Thomas Taylor and Ursula Mason-right kind of age given the census data but a dead end from there

The Taylor/ Mason baptism 25.4.1785 is a solo record-no brothers or sisters, no parental marriage, no parental births in the right kind of date range, nothing for parental deaths- and the Yarmouth records are extensive

Likewise nothing for the birth of James Kemp, although Yarmouth has multiple Kemp families.

So now I am wondering if either/ both families were part of the herring fleet-which could mean their records might be located pretty much anywhere down the east coast. James was variously given as labourer and publican, so no sea legs to support  the theory-but I guess it shows I'm clutching at  straws

Anybody any ideas?





 

The Wellcome library has been so overwhelmed with requests for family history seach requests that they have made their records more accessible-if you think your rellie might have been an inmate here, follow the link

This sounds interesting-your gps position mapped onto the Booths poverty maps being developed with LSE

"The mobile app

LSE Library is now undertaking a project to 'mobilise' the 'Maps, Descriptive of London Poverty' (1898-9) and the police notebooks that contain eye-witness observations of London street-by-street by enabling their use on mobile phones and tablets.

Soon, from any place covered by the survey, you will be able to plot your location on the Booth maps and retrieve nearby entries from the police notebooks for reading in the location to which the historic observations refer.

Find out whether your street was a den of iniquity or part of a well-heeled suburb. Read police commentary on the inhabitants of all parts of London. See whether anything, or nothing, has changed in the last 100 years. "
