Pitcher Family

[Baulko]

I emigrated to Australia in 1965 from London, I would like to trace my family past my grandparents as that is as far as I remember. They lived in Maxie Road Plumstead.

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to RootsChat!

Some names, and dates, might help?

There are many helpful people on RootsChat who would be delighted to help, but we need some basic information to start with (Remembering that RC has a policy of not naming living people!).

Hi,
Electoral rolls have the following Pitchers variously living at 172 Maxey Road, Woolwich from 1904 onwards.
George William and Ellen
Ernest Leslie and Gladys Maude
George William and Ellen appear in the 1911 census with children.
George William appears to have married Ellen Tombs in 1897 www.freebmd.org.uk

Does this sound like your family?
