This is from the 1938 Register

Bit different in 1939. Next page has numbers 14 and 6, those listed all have abode elsewhere.

As always, the combined might of the Rootschatters returns an amazing amount of information! ;D

Henry Sutcliffe (my grandfather) had moved to Tabard Street, The Borough, Southwark in 1939
His wife Mary has died earlier in the year.

I was trying to find out a DOB for Thomas Bradshaw(e) who was Mary's nephew. Ancestry just didn't identify him at all and kept giving me people who were clearly not the right man. I have now found him on FindMyPast 1939 register and now have his DOB (hopefully he was honest about it). I was hoping he was still living at 17 Mermaid Court as I knew he had lived there at an earlier date. In 1939 he had moved to Davidge House, Tanswell Estate living in Lambeth.

What is now of interest though is who are Elizabeth Mary Francis and William Henry Francis?
Up until 1938 everyone living at 17 Mermaid Court (and at one point there was a lot of them!) were related.

Davis - Berkshire & London
Sutcliffe - Yorkshire & London
Harrington - Ireland and London
Fuller - Cambridgeshire and Essex
Waldron/Waldren - Devon & London
Frisby and Lee - Leicestershire
Hollingsworth - Essex
Williams - Ireland? and London
Ellis, Reed & Temple - London
Lane - ?
Surplice/Surplus - Cambridgeshire
Elwood - Cambridgeshire
