That's the one.  Rev. Thomas Kingsman was Rector there a few hundred years ago and when I contacted (very helpful) local  government people, they said all streets around the old rectory where named after the rectors.  Recently found a Kingsman who married into the Basketts (what an unfortunate name!); quite a lot of whom were clergymen in my new home area of Dorset, including one who was vicar in a small village where 2 of my sons went to school nearly 30 years ago! Talk about small world.

Hi,

Oh Dimps, how kind of you I would love photos (I can pass them on to my cousin who is also busy on the family tree).

Thanks for the info about the streets; have just found a street in Woolwich named after a family member on another branch.  It all builds a more interesting picture doesn't it?

Oh more to hunt! Thanks so much; wonder where Matilda has gone ;she certainly married and lived until 1935.

Off now, back later.

I'm looking for Matilda Alice Eva (b. 1884) with parents James Otley and Amelia Sophia; possibly other children.

Many thanks.

Possible family link; does anyone know of trade directories etc. where this info might be found.? Could be Russian Jewish family; possibly using name of Howard.

Thanks
