West Ham Electoral roll look up

[RobinC1978]

I'll have to order the will although I am aware of two possible births from Herbert's second marriage in 1934.

Crump was the maiden name of Lilian Edith Gallagher who Herbert married in 1934, Herbert stated that he was a widower at the time but there's no sign of a death for Ellen.

Apologies for posting details of people who may still be living.

I believe that Shirley E Crouch who was born in the 3rd qtr of 1934, died in Poplar in the 1st qtr of 1936 at the age of 1 year according to Freebmd's registration index.

The other person was married in the late 1950s as far as I am aware.

Has anyone managed to look up Herbert on the electoral rolls?

Robin, I have booked an appointment at the Archives for this afternoon.

They do not open on a Sunday so it wouldn't be possible to look them up then.

I understand that you have already sent them an email a couple of weeks ago which they haven't had chance to answer yet. They have been closed on and off during Jan and Feb.

I will let you know the results of my search later this evening.

[RobinC1978]

Thank you in advance for anything you may find.

Yes, I emailed a Richard Durack regarding the electoral rolls but I wasn't aware of them closing during Jan & Feb.

Robin.

Here is the information I have for you.

1918 25 Norfolk Street.
Occupants George Lindeman and Mary Ann Lindeman
Herbert Crouch was an absent voter so likely in Miltary or Navy. This was found in answer to your email to the Archives.

1934-35 26 King George Avenue.
Occupants Arnold George Clapperton,Eleanor Olive Clapperton,Stanley Alfred Clapperton,Albert John Lewis.

19367 Occupants as above plus a Doris Littlefield.

1938  Occupants as above without Doris Littlefiled.

The person at the Archive had also checked 1936 for you.

I hope this helps.

Hello Kesannah,

Thank you very much for looking up the electoral rolls.

25 Norfolk Street was the address given on Herbert's army pension record, I'm not sure why Ellen isn't there when it is the address she is listed at due to being Herbert's next of kin. I am not aware of the Lindeman's so unsure if they are related to Ellen.

26 King George Avenue was Herbert's residence at the time of his death and it shows that Eleanor (his sister) was living there with her family, I would have thought that Lilian (Herbert's second wife) would have been there if he was living there in 1936 as well.

I think the search has to continue for Herbert and his whereabouts during the missing years.

Robin.

You mention that Eleanor Olive Clapperton became a widow in 1928 after Arnold JAMES Clapperton died.

Did she then marry an Arnold GEORGE Clapperton. if not you must  have the wrong date of death for Arnold as he was still living King Geroge Avenue with Eleanor Olive in 1938

[kesannah]

Robin ignore my previous message. I had forgotten that Arnold GEROGE is most likely her son
