Hi,

Does anyone know if Kelly's directories were published during the second world war? A Lawrence family related to my husband were resident in Dunmow's Queen Victoria,at that time but I need verification as to who was named as the publican.

Many thanks,

Frances

I wonder did you ever find out Frances? - I am never very sure where best to go for information about the various  commercial directories, including Kelly's -    where do you search please Dear Reader?

Hi all,
   

   
         Ian Hunter's site has had a whole host of updates over the last week or so. Particularly in letters A & B, plus Colchester, Romford etc. You may need to hit the refresh button (F5) to get a current updated view if you have visited any pages previously.
 
        The search engine needs to be updated to catch up!
 
        John Mead is systematically working through the alphabet, I choose an area at will! If you would like to get involved, and find info relevant, this is a simple format, for example:
 
Ship, St Johns St. Colchester
 
1861/William F Lugar/Inn Keeper/27/Ardleigh, Essex/Census
1861/Elizabeth Lugar/Wife/27/London, Middx/Census 1861/Matilda Scutcher/General servant/19/Woolwich, Kent/Census
 
       I am sure many of you have pictures of pubs in Essex, too. Preferably older ones, but everything is very welcome.
 
       As stated previously, if this site ever has to be removed (for whatever reason), there will be a copy in the Essex Record Office.
 
        Any help is very welcome, and Ian Hunter's essexpub site just continues to get better, with the small amount of data that is being added to a monumental work of art. Best Kevan Friends of Ian Hunter and Essexpubs.

      If you are not aware of Ian Hunter, he built a brilliant web site based around Essex Pubs, and died September, 2003. Sadly missed, he shared my humour.
      Enjoy Ian's site.
Best
Kevan
 

         

That link (rootsgen*com/essexpubs) from decades ago no longer works but Kevan has continued to do great work - the pubs history website seems to have gone very much further than Essex and London.

I thank him and all contributors

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: ts exmouth
« on: Friday 23 February 18 10:57 GMT (UK)  »
It seems as if there is a useful project ongoing which is likely to be a good source for research: -

"The archive of TS Exmouth is one of the most complete of all the training ships on the Thames and provides vital information about the boys and staff who served on her. LMA holds the record books of most of the boys who served on TS Exmouth (ref: MAB/2512) from 1876 to 1941 documenting over 17000 young men."

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: 1831 Census High Hill Ferry, Hackney: LANGSTON/LANGSDON/LANGSDEN
« on: Saturday 23 July 16 08:49 BST (UK)  »
I have not read through all this - so sorry for jumping in without researching - this website came up in a search for other things.

I have a general curiosity in the High Hill Ferry area and have had some discussions elsewhere.

I am posting this link so that others can jopin in and share info and perhaps gain some if they wish.

There are some interesting images and I suspect that it is an ancient root from central London to what is now North East London and such places as Walthamstow and Leyton - across the marshes

It is just supposition but I also suspect it is a place of resort for Londoners long ago.

I wonder how many people are called  "Matt White"

I have no idea and am perplexed by the comment about Matt White which seems unconnected with went went before.

I see that news has been announced that Neville Neville, well known former professional footballer and father of a sporting family has died.

Quaker Family History / Re: William Edmunson Quaker founder
« on: Friday 07 August 15 18:00 BST (UK)  »
I see an interesting gathering has recently occurred in Laois - The William Edmundson Homecoming and quite a bit of information has been published and is available on the Internet, here are just two of several links - I suspect further searches in coming months will reveal more once some of the 500 or so who attended post news of their experiences in blogs and other reports.
