Hi again Jane !,
My step grandma Rosina (known as Daisy in the family) married firstly Edward Pearce in 1915 then my grandad William Rogers in 1943.
Rosina's dad was Edward William Naman who was in the shoe/boot trade as I think a lot of the family were back then and I think Edwards brother was your John Harvey Naman- do you think that's right ?.
It seems that John and Edwards father was another John Harvey Naman who according to the census was born in Greenwich. I've been having a bit of a job trying to work him out as he married twice and names his father as Henry Harvey, Gentleman on one entry and his mother as Ellen Naman on the other.
That's pretty much where I am stuck at the moment, maybe you have managed to get further back ?.
Anyway, I have quite a few nice bits and bobs that have been handed down through the family including a couple of photos of Edward, your John Harvey Naman's brother as well as photos of Rosina, Lily and Roland.
I remember Lily and Roland from when I was young, Roland was blinded in ww1 but became a Publican with his wife !, he also met King George vi and sang in choirs so he didn't let his disability hold him back.
It's great to find someone else interested in the family history as neither Roland or Lily have any surviving children so there don't seem to be many Naman's around, unless you know different !!.......
All the best,
Pete Rogers.
