Have news for Longbow and Jane, we are related and have memories of visiting Petherton Road to see Aunt Alice.  Also the photo of the 4 brothers with Grandfather William and copy of Sydney's Citation.

Dear Kiteflyer,

We may well be related, Aunt Alice you mention may well have been my grandmother.

Do you remember any other names and who was it that visited Petherton Road.

Many thanks,
Jane Baker

Hello Janey.
 My Dad was Alice's brother Thomas ,Mum was Florence (Floss)and my sister Jean and I (Ted) used to go with them to see Aunt Alice at 100 Petherton Rd,
 Names that I recall were Joan and Joyce, Family name of Weed.
 When we were young ,we lived at Hornsey Rise N.19 and Dad was a Postman.
  I have an old photo of Tom,Sid,Alice and Annie Parrish taken around 1904 which I am working on at the present time.
     Regards,    Ted.

Hi Everyone.

My thanks to the Moderators for deleting email addresses & keeping us secure.  ;)

And, my huge apologies for not keeping in touch. Its been a hectic and at times difficult few months + major pc crash + lost logons etc. I was'nt ignoring  people. But still sorry.

Janey, Many thanks for the email, I will reply ASAP.

Hi Ted, great to hear from you. its amazing how we are all linking together. As soon as you are able to PM me, & can therefore give me your email (securely), I will send you a document outliming all I know about Sidney. His wife was Lilly - from Hoxton - a milliner and descended from Heuganots - but that is much of what I know about her - apart from very helpful additional info from people on this forum.

Sidney had 2 sons - Sidney (my father) and Donald .... + 2 from Lilly's first marriage - Fred, Alfred +Renie her daughter -- all originally surnamed Smith. All are now deceased.

Of interest might be your searching Google for "RSM Sherriff Lamsdorf". After placing a few bits of information on various sites, other people have added even more info. OK this is just re the RSM, but hopefully some links may arise.

Just before his death, myslef & our daughter visited the camp band leader Jimmy Howe. A fascinating guy. Much on the web about him too.

All the best for the time being, Andy.

 Hi, Janey and Longbow.
 Thanks for your replies. I thought you might like to see this photo named on the back,as Tom,Sid, Alice and Annie Parrish. Taken aprox. 1905. My guess is that Tom is at the back, next to Annie Parrish.
 Janey,I will phone you soon.
 Regards to both.   Ted.

Dear Janey and Andy(Longbow)
 Attached photo is of William Sherriff and sons. I believe that Thomas is back left and Sid is back right.   Is this the same one that you have? Andy. There is a private message left for you,Andy.
     Take care,both.   Ted.
