In 1821 a Richard Walker was listed as a stationer and bookseller at 90 High Holborn. (Robson's, 1821). In 1833 a Jos. Walker was an upholsterer at 109 High Holborn. (Critchett's, 1833). In 1838 a surgeon was at 90 High Holborn, a coffee room at 91, and a Jos. Walker was an upholsterer at 108 and 109 High Holborn. (Robson's, 1838). (I don't know whether there was any re-numbering during that time.) I hope this small contribution helps.

Robert, Do you know that the LSE has some of Charles Booth's notebooks online? http://booth.lse.ac.uk/ You might find something there.

Hi I am trying to find information relating to my grandfather Henry A W WEBB who it is believed was at one time a London City Missionary who was also employed by the London County Council to assist in helping the residents of the Old Nichol move out to other accommodation prior to the site demolition and the building of the new Boundary Street Estate.. It is strongly believed that Henry was interviewed by Charles Booth together the Rev Loveridge probably circa 1885 to 1898. Any information, such as extracts from diaries, newspapers etc, would be very welcome as would any photographs. In addition photographs of the Prince of Wales at the official opening of the estate would be of great interest. Henry went on to become the estate superintendent but died, on the estate, in 1925. Robert in N Wales

Please may I ask anyone with access to trade directories to see if they can do a look-up to establish the trade/occupation of John Walker In 1826/1827/1828 he was shown in the rate books at number 91 High Holborn London In 1830 he was shown in the rate books at number 90 High Holborn London Michael

Still looking for anyone researching William and Ann MESSER from Blue Gate Fields, St George in the East. William was a rope maker. Children were Ann b1791, married William IVES 1812; Sarah b 1794; Susannah b 1796 married George HOLMES 1814; Elizabeth b 1798; Richard b 1799; Mary b 1802 (may have married Robert BLACKFORD 1819), James 1804; William John b 1805 and Henry b 1807. I am having great difficulty finding out anything more! I am wondering if this Henry MESSER was my g-g-grandfather who came to Sydney, Australia and married Emily SUTHERLAND in 1835. How can I find out anything more about Henry between 1807 and 1835?? I have tried all the obvious records - parish BDM, burials, military, immigration. Susannah and Richard are the 'different' names in this MESSER family and could be one of the Hampshire MESSER families or St Mary HENDON ones. I think they were Non Conformists - Quakers? Any helpful suggestions gratefully received. Barbara

I wonder if anyone on the List might help me with information on the birth of Daniel Skinner and Mary Skinner. While I am unsure, I think they might be the children of Daniel Skinner and Frances Corbett. I have found their other children at St Olave's Hart Lane. Daniel completed school at Westminster school in 1670. Mary became Samuel Pepys long time mistress. I would be grateful if someone might suggest where else I might look. Thank you, David Cornelius

Registers of Electors are not currently online. There is a fairly complete run nationally at the British Library. I think the London Metropoltan Archives have some for some of London - check their Catalogue at A2A.

"shown living" - no, censuses until 2001 record place where a person actually was on census night. Did he sign the household schedule for his own address? Usual reason for double enumeration is confusion over what was meant by "overnight" on census night. The 2011 form added to the confusion by specifying one day eg."overnight 7th" rather than the more usual and specific "overnight 6th/7th" or "overnight 7th/8th". Special arrangements were made to enumerate people in transit and working overnight. Your grandfather may have filled in the census form in advance, expecting to be at home, and for some reason was at his siblings' home....and they filled inthe form on Monday morning. We shall never now. Still, it is nice to have him twice... tho' can lead to more questions if the details do not correspond exactly :-) Kind regards, John Henley > > Hoping for some answers from the very busy Rootsweb friends.Patricia in Alberta,Canada > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > This mailing list works in parallel with the London surname interest list on the web at > http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/london.html .

Sounds like a lot of money to me. I would suppose a lawyer was looking after them and they probably had a house they all lived in.
