Joel

Thank you very very much for that newspaper article
Really interesting and a good start for a search

At least we now know the name of the house to be correct and used for a long time

Thank you again

Peter

On 1881 census Louisa's mother-in-law, plus family, (1881 is before Louisa's marriage) is at the first dwelling in Hammersmith after Lowes Hill.

Chempat

Thank you  very very much
Now it's getting really interesting

We know most of the local neighbours who have lived in Hammersmith most of there lives have always tthought the house was built as a Flour or at least some kind of mill

However I've been under the house and there is now hole in the ceiling of the tunnel where a wheel might have been fitted same area above inside all sealed off

Also there is never enough water in the Brook deep enough or flowing fast enough to turn a wheel

It may have been an idea to build as a mill but ended up being a house

Regards n thanks again

Peter
