Hi Kim

Thanks for your email. Have to keep looking to see what I can find out about Brittannia Wilson, if I have any luck I will let you know.

I actually went to Holden St School (Shaftesbury Park) off Eversleigh Rd Cannot remember anybody called Peach or Squire. Did know a boy called Johnny Squires  who I think lived in Beaufoy Rd.

Don't know if there is any connection- my paternal greatgrandmother  was Lucy Squire who was born in 1829 in Southwark and died on 5 Dec 1900 in the Union Infirmary. Clapham (Union Grove). Her father was Timothy Squire who was born in 1802 in Kingston upon Thames.  The Squire family were well known gypsies in the Kingston area at the time although they originated from the West Teignmouth  area of Devon and moved into the Kingston area in the mid 1700's. If they are connected to you, I have quite a lot of information which I'll be happy to share.

Hi
Whilst looking for Skerritts in Battersea I came across your postings regarding the Guyatt family.
My grandmother was Eliza Skerritt ,the younger sister of Minnie Skerritt.
Althought I now live in Australia, I grew up in Battersea and met Minnie and Charles (Arthur) Guyatt many times, when they were living in Georgie Rd, Thornton Heath.  I also met Charles Guyatt (son) on a few occasions. I remember very well that he had a Rolls Royce and a chauffer called Randell, who would not let us near the car!!
The family actually lived in Wickersley Rd. Battersea in the early 1900's then moved into Tyneham Rd (next street) .
Should you be interested, I have quite a bit of information on the Skerritt family and also on Minnie's mother's family - Till.
which I would be happy to share with you, should you read this posting.
Regards
Paul
