Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Birchington-on-Sea (Westcliffe Hotel)

W E Martin was manager of the Bungalow Hotel for a while; unprepossessing it may have been, but it was the place to stay when people went to see the nearby Taylor wooden bungalow in which Rossetti had died in 1882.

That was quick - thank you; I'll follow up that lead.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / John Henry Taylor's roots
« on: Tuesday 16 October 12 22:14 BST (UK)  »
John Henry Taylor b.1792 in the parish of St Anne's Soho was an architect and Borough Surveyor in Westminster and later in Lambeth. Can anyone help me to trace his parents, please? - I don't know my way around London records.

He married Sophia Wilford in 1816 at St Mary's, Westminster, if it helps to find the right one.

I'm not a descendant, but a fan - I think he deserves much more credit as an architect, and I wondered if research into W E Martin might be able to shed more light on his work. I look forward to sharing more of what I have learned.

I'm researching the bungalows of Westgate and Birchington. I understand that Taylor and Seddon used W E Martin as their builder and I'm keen to learn more. I appreciate that Chilis' request for images etc was some time ago now, but there's a few images at http://www.birchingtonheritage.org.uk/beachavenue/bu1914.htm. The Westcliffe Hotel and the Bungalow Hotel were one and the same.

I'm a novice, so forgive any lack of protocol please.
