Thank you. The wet Fish shop they ran or owned was in Katherine Rd so not too far from Ilford. The 1906 marriage date to Daisy is good. Just had a relative confirm it.
The other posters said you cant post Census on her has that stopped I have had plenty shown over the years. If Charles died in Ilford it could be they lived Ilford perhaps in 1921?

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Clayden Family Wet Fish Soop Owner Forest Gate circa 1940s Look up please
« on: Thursday 05 September 24 12:03 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a Charles William Clayden who had a wet fish shop in Forest Gate London E7 circa 1940s possibly earlier, but it was gone by the 1950s. I know Censuses are not available after 1921 except the 1939 one, but could anybody help with census up to those two years if poss please?
Charlie married a Daisy in Edmonton I think in Sep 1906 but not certain on that or her surname pre marriage.
The family of Claydens since the 1950s now live in Hertfordshire.
Many thansk in advance

Addressograph Multigraph Limited, were a USA company with several branches in the UK and worldwide. I am looking for a location they had a branch in Weybridge Surrey. May have been near or next to the old Brooklands Racing Circuit. In 1979 Addressograph became A.M International. They went bust in about 1996
Many Thanks in advance

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Looking for a Homerton Hackney Company circa 1930 ish
« on: Tuesday 07 May 24 16:12 BST (UK) »
My late aunty worked for a Company in Homerton circa mid to late 1930s that had "Wrights" in the name.She said it was opposite Hackney Hospital in Homerton so perhaps Homerton High Street.. Not sure if that's the full company name but they made cartons, Boxes for Yardley. They could have also been Printers maybe a shop or a factory.
Hackney Hospital was also on the corner of Kenworthy Rd and so the old business may have been situated it that road.
Glyn Rd is also opp the hospital.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful

Superb stuff big thanks once more.
My late father worked here at Cundell Eve until I guess around 1970 ish when they moved to Witham. Machine minder means he ran a letterpress printing machine, the Heidelberg Cylinder, but I think he just did cutting and creasing for box making. When they moved to Witham, he did not want to go, he never liked the company, so joined Boxes Ltd across the road doing the same job. Boxes Ltd did the first Airfix Saturn 5 Rocket box and Velos staples boxes. Also I believe in the 1950s, made the first Lesney Matchbox toy cars boxes as they were nearby.
The Roland favorit was a type of printing machine as was Mann Roland. (Can be seen on Youtube.)
Boxes Ltd shut Dace Rd and moved to Blackburn circa 1986 ish and he was redundant aged 57.
As an aside, if you look up Tina Charles, singer of a hit called I love to Love, her father was a salesman at Boxes in the 70s. She was on The Two Ronnies and we had to sit and watch it as kids.
SOGAT was the union at Boxes, same one as the 1985 Wapping Print dispute. They looked after there own including not paying to apply for a job, so also presume that is why the advert is in the national press. Don't think my ol dad ever filled in a CV in his life lol. Over Time on the papers in Fleet St back in the day meant your name could be Micky Mouse amongst others. Jobs for the boys was the print unions.
As another aside, I now live in Lincolnshire and have a new neighbor who designs cartons, who once worked for Boxes Ltd in Watford. Small world sometimes.

Once again many thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Is it possible for me to see both adverts or is that a copyright issue?
