Hi Anne I did as you suggested, then read the comments - the newest one appears to be over two years old. Technology is racing along at such a fast pace, it wouldn't surprise me if those comments don't apply today. If all users were responsible and heeded the information in your final sentence there should not be any problem with a virus or other 'nasty' happening!

Michael/Mick, Can I add my thanks for the clippings you diligently send to our Surrey List. They are often a source of amusement/shock/ horror in our household and, so far, none of our forebears have been featured, although there certainly are some rum happenings in our families' histories; same for most researchers, I would imagine?

Listed as Deceased in 1901 at Sons Marriage Could he be in the Croydon Cemetery records featured in the recent listings. Any info much appreciated Brian Newman

Our guest speaker for this, the penultimate meeting of the year, is our Society's President, Paul Blake and the subject of Paul's talk is "Manorial Records" At our July meeting last year Paul introduced us to British property and land records in which he gave an overview of the various sources. On this occasion Paul will be concentrating on one specific aspect - the subject of manorial records, including manorial courts. It is a common misconception that manors and their records relate purely and simply to the middle ages, whereas the records do in fact continue well into the 20th century and so clearly have rather more than a passing relevance to the lives of a great many of our ancestors. I do hope that you will be able come along on Saturday the 10th and very much look forward to seeing you then. David Carter -- Maureen Burton Postal Sales ESFHS

Hello, I have ancestors, two girls Eleanor & Gwyneth PRICE who were living at 13 Abbey Street, Bermondsey, SE1 around 1925 or so, does anyone know the closest school they may have attended. I suspect that number 13 was at the Jamaica Road end of the street, with St Mary Magdalen their parish church. I know that their school was close to the railway viaduct because I remember my mother pointing the school out to me when we passed on the train sometime in the early 1950's, it was a tall brick building with a flat roof surrounded by fencing that may have been used for sports or something. Can anyone help. Regards, Cathy in South Australia

Hi Cathy, The numbering in Abbey Street started at the Bermondsey Street end. Number 13 was on the north side of the road between Tower Bridge Road and Riley Street (now Riley Road). The school you saw from the railway viaduct would have been Riley Road School. The older building you describe has been demolished within the last ten years and an appartment block built on the site. Other school buildings remain, and have probably been converted to other uses. Post WW2 Riley road was a Boys only secondary school.
