London directories look-up

[wildfang]

If anyone has any old London street directories (e.g. Kelly's), I would like to know who lived at 54 Mandrake Road, Upper Tooting in February 1915.

Thanks

Hi WF I checked my 1921 directory and had a look on http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp

Here are the named occupants of that address in the PO directories for 1914. 1916. 1917 and 1921.

1914: Albert William Elliott
1916: Frank Hardy
1917: Reginald Bagge
1921: Harry Moore.

I simply cannot thank you enough!!!

You have found the missing link (Frank Hardy) I was looking for !!

Last questions if you don't mind:

- Are you saying you own the 1921 directory and you got the other entries from that website? I could not find the relevant directory when I looked before - would you mind pasting a link to the relevant site page in a reply to me?
- was there no directory for 1915 on the site ?
- I don't suppose a "p" middle initial was given for Frank Hardy?

Yes I have the 1921 Directory and the others came from the website.

I can't link to the page you want but it is in the Post Office London County Suburbs Directory, 1916 on page 191. Send me your email address by PM and I'll send you copies  of the 2 images showing Fran at that address.

No there wasn't a directory for 1915 on that site.

And no, there wasn'y an initial P in Frank's name!

Hi ShaunJ,

If your 1921 directory covers Wood Green would it be possible please to have a look at No. 2 Winkfield Road to see if Joseph Howard dairy is still listed there, or if not, who is?

I have checked the availabe directories on the Historical Directories site.

Many thanks,

Selina

No, Winkfield Road doesn't seem to be listed

Thank you for looking.
