My dad was married in East Ham Register Office in 1936, and I'm trying to locate its exact location on a map. 

A 1937 newspaper article mentions it is "opposite the station"  and a 1954 newspaper article mentions it being on the High Street.  I've looked at some old OS maps but I don't see the Register Office marked anywhere on the High Street or near East Ham Station.

I did wonder if it simply became Newham Register Office, but judging by the OS maps Newham Register Office was previously the library.

Although I see that East Ham Town Hall was opposite a police station, so maybe that was the "station" the newspaper article referred to.

Can anyone pinpoint where it was for me?

Hi Venner

Many thanks for taking the time to do that.  That's a wonderful picture.

I love the caption too.

I am looking for any information about Arthur Dennis Mavity and his wife Helen Clara Mavity (formerly Welsh). 

Arthur was born 17 Jul 1882 in Woolwich, Kent, England and Helen was born about 1894 in Croydon, Surrey, England.

Arthur was an actor and appeared in several British silent movies in 1914.  He and Clara emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1915.  Initially they lived in New York City, but there is a 1942 U.S. Draft Registration Card that shows Arthur was living at 205 Liberty Sq., East Norwalk, CT

I believe they also had two children, but I've no idea what their names were.

Thanks
Mark

My favourite first name in my family tree is Newyear.  Guess when he was born?   

It is Tanworth and I have wondered for years what "Dirkle Worker" in the 1871 was meant to be.  I've always suspected he was pulling the enumerator's leg.
