Here we are then more info on the Stangroom family – I will do the same for the other Bryceson children when I am in the mood – it makes a change from looking for Jones’ and other good (common) welsh names ! If anyone has already done it please let me know I can’t remember seeing much apart from Steve’s line. I do enjoy moving towards the present in a family line and have been working on a section of our family which we have lost contact with. If anyone want the unedited version - which is also a bit tidier please pm me your email address and I will send you the word doc. Let me just hint that I think (as long as my assumptions are correct) Steve has definitely got some distant Bryceson relatives out there.
Please remember this is all supposition from using the online indexes available certificates would be required to confirm the information
Edith Sarah Stangroom married Stanley Ernest Atwell on the 2nd January 1916 at Christ Church, Jamaica Street (another Church that’s now gone)
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1508785 . Their record is on the London Marriages; the marriage was witnessed by Walter James Stangroom and Florence Ethel Stangroom; his father was William Atwell, Engineer and her’s (as we know) Walter James Stangroom, Carman. His occupation is listed as Fitter and she’s a Machinist. Both residences are listed as 102 Dempsey Street.
I can only find one child Stanley Ernest born in the June quarter of 1917 in Hackney; he married Audrey Maude Greengrass (1924) in the June quarter of 1947in Essex and they had one child in the June quarter of 1948 xxxxx again in Hackney.
There are two possible deaths for Stanley (1) one in 1979 at Waltham Forest and one in 1971 in Hendon but considering that Edith died in 1970 in Waltham Forest I would assume the first is correct. Audrey died at Reading in July 2004 and Stanley (2) in August 2005 in Harlow in Essex.

NB – Audrey Maude Greengrass in mistrascribed as Greengrase and their child has been mistranscribed as xxxxx on A*** but correctly on FindMyPast.
Walter Bryceson Stangroom married Edith H Danson in Croydon in the December quarter of 1914 they had two children Gladys Edith born in the December quarter of 1915 and Walter J born in the March quarter of 1921 both in West Ham. The gap between the children would suggest some kind of Military service and I have found a possible medal card for him but nothing else – but of course the records aren’t all there.
Walter B died in Darwen Lancs in 1962 aged 78 and Edith died in Lancs in 1966 aged 78.
Gladys married a Ramsay G G Langlands in Surrey in the June quarter of 1939; I’ve found his birth in the June quarter of 1912 in Northumberland. I can’t trace any children here despite such unusual names. She died in November 1991 in Surrey and he died in December 1986 again in Surrey.
Walter J (I assume James) married a Sylvia P Moore in the March quarter of 1943 in Surrey . Sylvia died in Leeds in 1981 and Walter in 1982 in Huddersfield.

Florence Ethel Stangroom has been harder to trace and the closest I can find is a Florence Ethel Stancombe who marries a Charles Crisp in the December quarter of 1921 in Surrey. There is only one Crisp / Stancombe birth and that’s in Devon in 1924 but there are no Crisp / Stangroom births. I’m not sure its so easy to make assumptions. Thing is there are too many Florence Crisp deaths but no Florence Stangroom deaths.
Please any corrections anyone can make throw them into the pot.
