On invitation to post certificate details, here are the sad stories of my great-grandparents. I would be deeply grateful for advice on location of Manby Road, where Phillippe died and where his oldest son, my grandfather, Walter Henry TYLER, first met his future wife Alice Maud BONHAM (they lived next door to each other), though they didn't marry until 10 years and a world war later. I can't locate a Manby Road on a modern map and haven't yet stretched to buying an older one. As always, would love to hear from anyone with TYLER or MORRIS interests in West Ham.

Hi Celia, Manbey Road is in Stratford, originally in the West Ham parish - see : http://historyofstratford.co.uk/StratfordHistory/Stratford-1902.shtml ; for example. There are a range of old maps to be found here: http://londonpublichouse.com/MapsofLondon.shtml But you should be able to locate Manbey Road in a modern map.
