Title: Jennings Hat Makers Hammersmith
Post by: heljim on Tuesday 10 November 09 12:50 GMT (UK)

Hello
I am new to this site. I am looking for any information please on my Gt Gt Grandfather William Vinson Jennings` Hat Making Business in King Street Hammersmith.  I believe  his daughter Sophia and her husband Albert Garnett were running the bussiness in 1901.  I would like to know what happened to the business and when please.  Also does anyone know the date of death of either Sophia or her husband I think they moved to Kingston on Thames.
Helen
