Can anyone please help me regarding dock union representatives in Stepney, Saint Georges in the East from about 1895 onwards? Were lists kept and are they available online?
Also with a court case: “Queen's Bench Division. Re. The Parliamentary Election For The St. George's Division Of The (London) Borough Of The Tower Hamlets, Benn v. Marks”. A report in The Times dated 14 March 1896 refers to an earlier report in the Eastern Post of July 13 1895 (an East End newspaper, AKA The Eastern Post & City Chronicle?) but unfortunately no such report could be found.
In both cases I am looking for a Thomas Chattaway and seeking to identify him/them.
Details:
Thomas Benjamin Chattaway, born 1/12/1872. In 1895/6 I believe, living at No. 18 Cornwall Street, St. Georges in the East. Is the Thomas Chattaway mentioned in The Times the same person?
Many thanks in anticipation.
