London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Address Look Up 1895......Stratford West Ham Please
« on: Thursday 21 June 07 14:04 BST (UK)  »
Was wondering if anyone would have access or advice look up for an address in Stratford West ham please.

I have just found a new lead on my family, Joseph and Elizabeth Kate Jane Holley living in 30 Station Street Stratford West ham in 1895, wondered if anyone would know if this was a boarding house or private accomodation?

Thank you for any help, I know Joseph was an actor / vocalist and travelled around alot so was wondering if this is where Elizabeth lived or if they lodged here.

Regards
Liz

It's always nice to receive new new info isn't it........I went on holiday to France in April was lucky enough to visit the cemetery where my gr grandfather is buried.....so emotional as you walk through the gates and once I was stood at his grave I couldn't believe the emotions that went through me, I have never met this man but the tears began to flow, think people with me thought I was daft, so hard to explain.
They had a visitors book to sign and leave a message and a booklet which had the name of the casualties and details of family and cause of death.....I had to take a walk around on my own and as silly as it sounds talk to my gr grandfather...felt lots better after...

Best wishes

Lanarkshire / Glasgow Theatres

I am having problems finding anything concrete on my gr gr grandfather. Still not sure if he is the right person but I have found a Joseph Holley (Holly) in Britain who was born in the US. If this is my Joseph his wife is living down in Hastings Sussex on 1901 census with her mother and her son, she is still down as married.
On various certificates my Joseph is down as a vocalist / professional / carpenter (which is apparently the line some unsuccessfull artistes went down).
 I now have a Joe Holley living at 31 R'Glen Rd Glasgow Gorbals on the Scottish 1901 census, born US, actor...there are various other lodgers from the US, actors and also head of the family's daughter appears to be in theatre too....I was wondering if there would have been any theatres in that area or would they have been in the city of Glasgow...
I am trying to go down as many paths as I can. Have tried searching on Glasgow Uni site but none of the names on the census are on there. I have written to the music hall society, they have no Joseph Holley (Holly) on their directories and have now emailed national library of Scotland to see if they can refer me to a Glasgow theatre historian....

I appreciate any help on this subject

Regards
Liz

Hello Jim

Hello Liz
Looking at Lancaster St. in 1881 it shows 2 possible dwellings that appear to be commercial lodging houses.One in particular was no.20 where there were about 8 or 9 lodgers.The other was a back-to-back with about 4 lodgers.
If they were travelling around they may have been in lodgings in 1891 but missed off the census.The son may have been left with Grandma because of schooling,but you've probably worked that out for yourself.
Jim

You're a star!!! Thankyou for that, definitely have more to look at now a few things are falling into place.....

Thankyou for the Kate Holly in 1891 too, someone else as also sent me that and I think (Hope) it is her......my Kates son and mother were living in the St Leonards area so wondering if thats the reason place of birth for Kate was down as there, my Kate (Elizabeth Kate Jane) was actually born in Hungerford Berkshire but we all know how details can be written down wrong on the census entries!!!!

Many thanks again Jim

Hi Jim

Was trying to find out if it was a b & b or hostel of some sort. My gr gr grandfather was down as a vocalist on various certificates so was wondering if they were travelling around music halls etc......they married in 1884 had their son in 1885 but in 1891 census I can find their son, my gr grandfather, living with his grandmother in Hastings but no sign of Joseph and his wife then in 1901 my gr grandfather was living with his mother and grandmother in Hastings but no sign of Joseph. When his son married in 1903 Joseph was down as deceased......

regards
Liz
