Hello Michelle, Read with interest that your George SHAMBROOK lived at 81 Hale End, Walthamstow. My gt.Grandfather Frederick SCOTT was the Railway Gate Keeper for GER and lived at the Railway Cottage, Hale End in 1901. Hale End is on the Walthamstow/Chingford border and even in 1901 was quite rural. It is right on the edge of Epping Forest. I have found the Waltham Forest website quite good and Waltham Forest Council responded very quickly to a query I made to them. If you have no luck through the list I suggest you try these.
