Hi I am interested if anyone has MASTERS in the Portsmouth area who have origins in Bethnal Green, London in the 1870's and 1880's and then were living in the Forest Gate - East Ham - West Ham area in the 1890's and early 1900's. A family member thinks that some of the family from the West Ham area then moved to Portsmouth which looks to me to be near Southampton. In particular: the children of Henry John MASTERS and Mary Ann HARVEY all born in Bethnal Green: Mary Elizabeth (Eliza) MASTERS born 1870 ..married Charles Alfred HARRIS (Bethnal Green) Henry Adolphus MASTERS born 1872 ...........married Kate Gerturde PALMER (West Ham 1903) Charles William John MASTERS born 1874... married Alice Catherine FORD Sarah MASTERS born 1876 ............................married Alfred Newton (Bethnal Green 1897) Charlotte MASTERS born 1879....................... married John James PIERCY (West Ham 1903) William MASTERS born 1880 ........................married (?) Samuel MASTERS born 1883 .........................married Lily Stella Goggett (West Ham 1913) George MASTERS born 1896 .........................married (? perhaps Hilda ? ) I would like to make contact with anyone researching any of these families. Best wishes, Charlotte Edwards Vancouver, B.C.
