you can register at home for free, and search and bookmark, then in the library you can visit the pages. In our local libraries you can take your own device or use theirs, and unlike ancestry you log into your own BNA account at the library.

british newspaper archive is available for free in some libraries, so might be worth a look.  Once you have visited the newspaper page, you can view it at home.

Log in and have a search and see what you can find.

There are some newspaper articles with Leslie Watkins, might help the puzzle, may not be your man:

Dec 15 1967 Leslie Watkins of Alexandra Road, six bells - he was a witness to a crime

23 April 1965 funeral of Mrs Edith Mary Adams (56), mourner at her funeral Leslie Watkins Brother, was a Doll Watkins sister in law

9 Dec 1960 funeral Edith Mary Watkins (78) long list of Watkins

19 April 1957 Funeral Rees Watkins (55) 88 Alexandra Rd, six bells husband of Ruth, mourners Theo, Ken, Trevor, Melvyn, Eric, Leslie and David sons, brothers Wilf & Norrie - there are others listed too.

I thought there maybe a marriage announcement

1957 there is a death of Mr Rees Watkins husband of Ruth Alexandra Road.

London and Middlesex / Re: Missing Fisher Children

the records are really odd as there are random pages missing, all of them are the ones that your 3 are on! I had located them in the hope of getting an address, I wonder how pages are missing when they are in a book.  Maybe damaged.

It is looking likely that they would be there also, but too many Fishers, if they were stillborn, they may not even have been named.

do you have access to Ancestry.  It looks like Percy was buried at Chingford cemetery, there are other records on there with images.

The Common Room / Re: How to find out how an old street name and number translate to a modern address

I did the census in the 80s and had to find a lot of 'wooden huts' where people were living in Dobbs Weir, the enumerators had (and will still have?) the responsibility of finding all the properties in the area, all the 22b and upstairs flats etc tucked around corners.
