Address Look Up 1895......Stratford West Ham Please

[yorkshirerose]

Was wondering if anyone would have access or advice look up for an address in Stratford West ham please.

I have just found a new lead on my family, Joseph and Elizabeth Kate Jane Holley living in 30 Station Street Stratford West ham in 1895, wondered if anyone would know if this was a boarding house or private accomodation?

Thank you for any help, I know Joseph was an actor / vocalist and travelled around alot so was wondering if this is where Elizabeth lived or if they lodged here.

Regards

Hello, Liz.

I have not found the Holley family in either the 1891 or the 1901 census but I can tell you that they were not at this address in either of these censuses.

30, Station St., Stratford, housed 2 families & all the houses in the street appear to be normal dwelling houses with one or two families, but you can see that the Farmer family took in boarders so perhaps the Holleys were transient boarders only staying a short while.

1891 census
RG12/1311  folio 6  page 15
30, Station St  Stratford  WH

Elizabeth Farmer  head  W.  age 56     b  Willenhall Staffs
Alice G dau  age 22   Cotten Weaver   Aston Manor.  Warks
Walter H  age  21    Dock  Lab   b   ditto
Robert Menan  age 35    Engine Driver   b  Stifford, Essex
William Howell  age 2  grdson    b  Silvertown
Mary Brown  head  Mar  age 35    b  Blackfriars  London
Christian   dau   age 10    b  Holloway
Alice dau  age 1    b   ditto

1901 census
Rg13/1565  folio 105  page 16
30 Station St, Stratford  WH

Eliabeth Farmer  W  age 66     b  Willenhall

Hope this helps

Hi there

Thank you for that, looks like they maybe lodged there while maybe Joseph was working in a local theatre........
