Thanks Shaun. So where is Kelly Terrace in relation to Locton Street? I have seen evidence of the Kelly Terrace addresses but was unsure exactly where this was. Rob

Thanks for the feedback! The address appears on the birth certificate of my grandfather (1873). I am guessing Locton Street may have become Locton Green but keen to clarify, thanks. Cheers, Rob

My grandfather (Henry Richardson COWAN) was born on 4 October, 1873 at 4 Locton Street, Bow, London. I believe this street no longer exists as such today, however I am seeking please any details about this property (if possible) around 1873. I am particularly keen to obtain a photograph of this house, hopefully around that time. Any help is much appreciated. Thanking you. Cheers, Rob.

I am attempting to find occupational and/or death/burial details of my ancestor John EDWIN. John was baptised on 24th June, 1710 at St. Sepulchre, London, England. I believe he married a Sarah nee TAYLOR on 18th September, 1734 at Fleet, London. Their son also 'John' was born in 1738 and baptised on 6th October, 1738 at St Luke Old Street Church, Finsbury, London, England. Any details discovered is very much appreciated. Thanks. Cheers, Rob.

Essex / Frederick COWAN - (1833-1896) Employment Details 1880s/90s?
« on: Tuesday 24 June 25 12:06 BST (UK) »
Seeking, if available please of any employment details (employer and/or job type) of my great grandfather Frederick COWAN (1833-1896) for the period 1870 to 1896. His wife was Fanny nee RICHARDSON. I descend from their son Henry Richardson COWAN (born 1873). I know Frederick's occupation is quoted as an 'engineer' in 1881 (Census) & worked at a Gas Works in 1883 (West Ham?) as a 'foreman'. Is it likely that employment records would have survived from his Gas Works employer if the latter could be identified? He resided in Walthamstow during the 1880s up to 1896 when he died. His occupation was shown as 'mechanical engineer' on his death certificate. Any help with this quest is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob.
