Doris McGregor Walthamstow

[bethanyyd96]

Hi I'm trying to trace a Doris McGregor who lived in Walthamstow from at least the late 1910s. Haven't got much information but may have siblings called Edna and Gladys. I have 11 postcards addressed to her all at 8 Longfellow Road. I also have one postcard addressed to 'Grandad' at the same address.

I'm interested in following her life, where she ended up etc. so it would be fantastic if anyone can help. I've not been able to find her in any census as I haven't got much to go on but may be at that address on the 1921 census.

Thanks

You can search the 1921 census free on FindMyPast, we are only able to give information from that free index

Thank you for looking up the 1911 census for me. Seems like Edna and Gladys may be her cousins.

The 1911 transcript wrongly describes the children of Joseph and Ellen as 'sister' and 'brother'

That marriage for Doris is a good find

I noticed that someone's got Doris in their tree along with a picture so I messaged the owner. Hopefully they get back to me.

Fingers crossed

I see Joseph McGregor was said to be born in Stoke Newington and was 49 in the 1911 census, so born c1862. He must have been of Scottish descent. I found him in 1871 with his 40 year old widowed mother Eliza in Stoke Newington. She was born in Bow.
