Ernest B. Elliott 26 Birchington Road (this is Kilburn)
Alfred Harraden Elliott Warwick House, 12 Downshire Hill, Hampstead. He must have been well off! Downshire Hill is the most beautiful street of large Georgian houses worth a mint!
Frederick  Elliot  43 Belsize Rd
William Timbrell Elliott 113 Adelaide Road (Swiss Cottage)
William W Elliott 34 Birchington Road

The picture is Downshire Hill in 1842

Many thanks indeed, Linda!  Lovely picture of Downshire Hill too - we lived in Keats Grove when I was a child so it's all nice and local.

Alfred was well off in the 1880s, but was bankrupt by 1892 after his business failed.  Poor chap.

Many thanks again

Thank you!

I would be grateful for anything on:

James WILLIS, whitesmith or ironmonger or?, living at 1 Gayton Rd or 83-84 High St. or somewhere else?
 
Wife – Sophia WILLIS

Children –Emma Harriett, b. 1863 
               Frederick J., b.1866   
               Ada Elizabeth, b.1871-2               
               Ernest Edward, b.1880-1

I am especially interested in whatever happened to Frederick, if he is found in the vicinity.  I think the other children were all still at home.

Thanks again.

James WILLIS,   1 Gayton Rd and 83-84 High St.

Nothing more than that.

But, I did find this advert on the front page of the Hampstead & Highgate Express for Saturday January 6th 1900

Hello,

Could you please see if there are any of the following Morley family members in the directory?  Albert and Henrietta's children in subsequent censuses are born 'Highgate' and in 1891 Albert's residence was 62 Spencer Rd, Kentish Town.

Albert James Morley, bc 1862
Henrietta Morley, b 1862
Albert Edward Morley, son, bc 1882
Henrietta Morley, daughter, bc 1884
(possibly Charlotte Emma Morley, daughter, bc 1888)
Simeon Morley, son bc 1889

With this information, I'll have a better idea of the parish church the children were baptised in.

Thanks very much, Richard

No Morleys, I'm afraid. The directory shows that 62 Spencer Rd was occupied by one Samuel Whitmore at that time. I found Spencer Rd on the A-Z, but it's now called Spencer Rise.

This is on Free BMD. Why not send for it, with the proviso that the parents are Albert and Henrietta. That way you would get part of your money refunded if was wrong. Bet that's the right one one, though 

Morley    Henrietta Charlotte E         Pancras    1b   166 March Q 1884

What religious denomination were they? There's a list of churches and chapels etc in the directory, so if you let me know, I'll tell you what there was at that time in the neighbourhood.

Hi,

Can I have a second request? Does the directory list any synagogues or Jewish organisations?

Many thanks,

Nanny Jan 

[ridban]

No, sorry - everything but! That is, no jewish organisations, not no you can't have a second request !
