That is spooky Meriel.  Assumedly they would have known each other.

Small old world.

Thank you very much Devis - and all of you for your help.  That moves me a step or two further on.

And little did I know when sitting at Waterloo station waiting Eurostar for my first trip to Paris the day after 7/7, that I was within spitting distance of where my grandparents and great grandmother were living in 1911.

Thanks again, all of you.

Hi Anna, my mistake.  I believe Upper Marsh is just below Waterloo Station, as you say - across the river, from Westminster.

London and Middlesex / Albert Walter Woollard - where are you?

I have managed to track my grandfathers brother - Albert Walter Woollard b. 1889 Lambeth, London, through to the 1911 census when he was a 22 yr old railway porter living with his widowed mother and some siblings at 42 Upper Marsh, Islington.

Does anyone know where I can look to try and trace him and any subsequent marriage and children etc.

Where do I go from here?

Any advise would be appreciated please...

There's also an article in the local paper - Evening Echo - dated 11th December 2008 - which will be of interest to you.

Hi,

Nazareth House is still running today as a nursing/care home for the elderly.

The address is 111 London Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex. SS1 1PP.
Tel: 01702-345627.

It is a large building situated in London Road close to Southend High Street.

Many local food business's would donate food for the homeless people that visit the charity.  It is still run by the nuns.

Hi Matt,

You can find plenty of photos of the Cherry Tree by going on to Google "images" and typing in  - "Cherry Tree" Rochford - in the search field.
The conservatory is a new addition but the rest is still the same.

If you Google "map" it, the postcode is  SS4 2AF.

The phone number is 01702 - 544426.

The food is good too if you're in the area!

I'm a Rochford girl born and bred, and as far as I am aware, that's the only Cherry Tree.

Give them a ring - it's in Stambridge Road, Rochford.   I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you it's history.
