I am looking into the identity of the above.
Please can anybody help me find info related to my quest.

Thanks for that Ambly.
Some of it relating to just afterWW2 is a mine if info.

Is this the company?
Windsor and Eton Express, 30 Nov 1907

Windsor and Eton Express, 14 Jul 1917
The link is "scrap"
-
Are we looking at William Nosworthy Thomas?
-
I am not sure what the N stood for.
My grandfather was foreman at the Windsor yard in 1921.
Link with more info to folllow shortly, hopefully.
GF was in the army, his mother’s Lipscomb family had connections with the pleasure boating business on the Thames at Windsor and Maidenhead. (B. 1849 Cookham Dean, Berkshire, England
D: 25/4/1917 Windsor Berkshire England
Her husband started a cabbing business. Wellington Street would have been a frequent destination for fares. also links with The White Heart Hotel in Windsor. As a boy he was ‘Boots’ there.
-
William Nosworthy Thomas was a marine store dealer at Alma Road, 1917. The item mentions an employee "rag sorting".
Presumably you've picked up you GF's employer from the 1921 Census?
-
Yes. Should I try and post a temp link?
I don’t have a lot of success with posting pics on this forum.

There were two
??
Thomas William Nosworthy Thomas registered Wokingham 2c 373
William Nosworthy THOMAS registered Windsor 2c 463 in 1886
-
Confirmed that William Nosworthy Thomas was a Rag & Metal Merchant & Licensed Horse Slaughterer with premises at 17-19 Alma Road, Windsor.
Does this link to your GF's place of work in '21?
The Electoral Register has him and wife Myfanwy Gwendoline at 151 St Leonard's Road, Windsor.
-
Yes. Afier the war gf lived at 247 St. Leonard’s Rd. in Windsor at his wife’s mother’s house.
I figure that he gave up being a foreman by 1933 when he bought a house at 116 St Leonard’s Road and operated a cafe there until 1950. He lived at 8 York Road afterwards.
I am trying to find out about his mother in law’s third husband Richard Redrup. In 1911 he was a brewers drey driver but am uncertain of what happened to his family life, only that he died in JUN 1926 at Wallingford, and wonder if his wife Mary was still with him.
It seems that his father was George Redrup who lived in Park Street and was a Brewer at The Royal Brewery.
-
Thanks for that
It seems that for the time being ‘ Due to a technical issue, post-1900 records cannot be searched.
We are working on a solution, but this may take some time so please bear with us.
We apologise for any inconvenience.‘ (BMD)
I can’t figure out any way forward on OP. Maybe somebody else can.
-
Something else has dawned on me.
Ithink my GF worked in scrap.
He was a driver in the ATC.
After ww1 much of the scrap was dumped on a huge army depot between Burnham and Cippenham and I think GF probably had dealings there. How might I locate any existing records about the dump?
# By abt 1933 GF was obviously doing very well for himself. He bought property.

You can track Richard and Mary Ethel Redrup on FindMyPast's Electoral rolls. They are together at No 247 until the Autumn 1924 publication. The Spring 1925 publication shows Mary Ethel still at No 247, now with your GF/GM but no Richard. The three are still there in 1931 (the Rolls on line don't extend beyond this year)
-
With regard to W N Thomas, he died in 1932 in Windsor and was survived by his wife. He may have been the licensee at the Star & Garter pub in Peascod Street at the time.
Mary Redrup still lived in Windsor in 1939.

Re Mary
I have just discovered an old email that I never followed up. Please can anybody check it out?
I don’t know if it is relevant as I am not sure the name fits. Army connections certainly do.
She was married to Tomkin. He seems to have died.
Will post more info on this when I can find it.
‘ Mary Elizabeth had a sister Eliza Beatrice who married a David Hamilton Fraser. He is my maternal Great Grandfather. I can't find a UK birth record for him. He was a Colour Sergeant in the 1st Battalian Royal Berkshire Regiment but my research loses him after the 1882 Egyptian War where he appears to have forfeited an award.’

She had three husbands. I will try and find a link. I have much of her life covered but want to know more about Richard or George Redrup. George’s shop was in Peascod Street.
Not to loose sight of purpose of OP.

Sorry, Richard Redrup's father is recorded as Thomas Redrup/Redrop, who was a baker - confirmation from baptism record.

Thanks for that Little Nell
I was getting mixed up. It was Richard who worked as a brewers dreyman.
Your post seems to answer another question I was trying to find the answer to. I remember seeing a newspaper that reported Elizabeth and Mary at a funeral that Inthink it may have been at Wallingford.
Here is Mary’s link

Apparently the archive at Reading mentions ‘ a ( will just check my facts before I write more. I maybe some time)

I wonder how Tomkins died. ( There was a suicide at Windsor baracks about that time. I tried to check it out at the time I was looking into it and it seemed to be just coincidence.
