Kurt Erlach is listed at 1 Park Road, Beckenham in the phone books for 1930 and 1931.

That's great Shaun. After I saw that the property was for sale in 1929 I have been trying to find out who was there in 1930.

I did note in some news items that the Glanfield & Sons business was not doing as well as previously in 1929 and 1930.
 
There was a recovery after that.

But perhaps that was the reason for Stanley Glanfield moving address.

I thank you all for the different informations you gave me. For Sue :  I don't think that my mother got a job from the advertisement she put in the paper. Why I think that ? She left GB in 1930 and was anrolled in Brussels - Etterbeek the 25-10-1930 and in Gent - Belgium 12 march 1931. She could have taken the decision to leave GB after the announcment the house in Beckenham was for sale in 1929. This is just a reflexion and accepting that the Miss SAUTER in the advertissement is really my mother.
Let us, me, hope that some body put the fingers on a definive confirmation that THAT is THE Joanna Sauter I'm looking for.
I know my english could be a lot better..... So sorry, please don't worry about missspelling....

I'm sure we all hope as you do that it is the right person.
 
In your memories of her, was she a talented tailor and embroiderer and was she able to speak other languages as in the self-description in the advertisement?

Hi Sue,
In my memories of her, Yes she was a talented tailor (she made all our clothes for my sister and me) embroiderer ? I guess yes, and she was able to speak German and French and later Flemish.... (1930-31). She lived in Hamburg (Germany) from +/- 1924 in an English Family (my sister's memory...) where she had to take care for the children. We don't know when she travelled to England and how ? (I believe not by Swimming ... i guess  ) OK ..... it's 
Hamburg + boat, Hamburg + train (direction France or Belgium) and boat
Have a good day.

Hi Sue and everybody,
Hi to everybody,
I come back to you….
As my mother (Johanna SAUTER borne 1907) travelled from Germany to England (1923 or later) and lived in Beckenham/Kent till 1930, I suppose that when she came in Beckenham she had to enrolled or register her by an administration. The same when she left Beckenham early 1930 going to Brussels. In Brussels she has been enrolled coming from Beckenham/Kent.
So my question is :
Is there any way to know where this registration (or outgoing registration) was done?
I'm thinking about some police or administration services. May be Beckenham, London……. or else…..
Could somebody in this forum give me an idea and or help to find out where I should address me ?
Thanks for any help or information which could help me go further.
Please excuse my english, I'm not using it frequently....
Jean-Pierre.
