Does anyone live in/near Greenville SC? Help please
« on: Monday 12 March 07 10:17 GMT (UK) »
If there is anyone who lives in or near Greenville SC and who could tell me what is at 1336 E North St, Greenville, SC and whether it is the building that would have been there in 1937 I'd be over the moon.

This address has turned up on an envelope of a letter to Hargreaves & Cleo GILL, posted from England in May 1937.

If it is a private dwelling that has been there since then, it would be just wonderful to have a description of it- and maybe, even a photo but that may be asking too much.  Anything that gives a clue about it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much,
charlotte

Susan,
Thank you for that url.  It is an excellent search device- can see some  things there that probably are "mine". 

As yet I can't find the Cleo GILL, widow of Hargreaves GILL, whom I think may have been living there until her death in 1999, six months short of her 100th birthday. Info about her house was what prompted my initial  question.

Another question arising from the website- are all those streets named there as in Greenville Co, just in the suburb called Greenville? There are street names and numbers but no suburb mentioned that I can see and my knowledge of US addresses is very limited.

Thank you again for your help Susan,
charlotte

Susan,
Since posting my thank you to you I've prowled the site and found the house in 1996 tax year, From the histroy given there is no mention of the GILLs so maybe they were renters in 1937 when the envelope was addressed to them there: maybe the history doesn't go back that far.
Couldn't find an email address- can you please tell me how to do that please??

Whatever the case,renters or not,  thank you for the help and the url.  Have found other great info re my GILLs there. If only everywhere had such databases online..... and free.
Thank you again
charlotte

Susan,
What a dumb question I asked! After I posted it I went back to the site and saw the link you tell me about.  But when I posted the question I thought you meant in your earlier answer that the SC real estate list had somehwere on it not only mailing address but email address also- and that was what prompted my question.
 Thanks for you patience.
