My g grandfather Leonard Janmes Curtis, son of Alfred Curtis born 1821 in Shoreditch and a jeweller in Islingotn, seems to have a lifelong conenctin with the place. He lived there with his wife Emma Laura née Bustard, whilst commuting down to South West London and his mistress, the rogue. My great-aunt says that Emma had red hair, so I'd be interested to know if your Mum remembers any details. I know there were several children from their marriage.
