Hello again, Paul.

I've been through my information.  John Reeves and his family moved into 48 & 50 Hermit Road in the late 1890s.  He doesn't seem to have been there in 1896 but he was in 1899. He stayed there until he left for Australia in May 1911. 

During the period between October 1906 and May 1908 he was subject to bankruptcy proceedings but he seems to have continued in the business during this time. From 1899 he was employing his eldest daughter's husband and after he left for Australia they continued but in their own name (Hills).

Hope this is of some use. If I find any more I'll add it to this thread.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Many thanks for the photo, Paul. As a family we have a couple that might have been taken either by him or by his daughter and son-in-law, so it is lovely to see this one. One he took of the West Ham Football Team was in an auction of football stuff fairly recently.

I'll dig out exactly what I have over the weekend, and get back.

Yes, China, the financial stuff is interesting and we suspect it may have been one of the factors that prompted his move to Australia!

Regards,
Eliza

I know the original post was now quite a long time ago, but I wondered if you are still looking for information? I know a bit about J.E. Reeves as he was my gt gt grandfather.

Regards.
