Family History East Dulwich Grove 1950's-

[Rose R.]

Long shot .. but here goes :

My late Nan's Uncle 'Edwin/Ted PERRY' had a Newsagents/Tobbacionist at 73 East Dulwich Grove from about 1926 till he died in 1952.

Business partner 'Sarah Finlayson' (from his Will).

A 'William E DOUGHTY' lived there c1948.

Also'Hector and Lilian PATTERSON' were living there after 1952 with Sarah Finlayson.

Any of the older members recall the shop?

Trying to solve a long term family mystery, nothing other than for curiosity sake.

I have the Electoral register list for some of "East Dulwich Grove" from 1948 - 1953. ODD numbers only.

If any help to anyone?

Thanks Rose.

The shop was the most Westward one in the terrace of shops immediately adjacent to Dulwich Hospital?

How about contacting the current owners to see if they will let you look at the deeds of the property where there may be some family history for you.

Hi Macroban

Thank you for replying and your suggestion.

I dont live near the area but looking on Google it seems to be 'Ronnies Supermarket' now.

I will try after Christmas.

Thanks again

Just to add

My great Grandmother was living at 47 Fellbrigg Road Camberwell on 1891 Census

the only one I can find is in East Dulwich and the road appears to be still there.

Does not seem to be to far from East Dulwich Grove so I must be on the correct track!

1881 they were in Machell Road, again not too far away it appears.

Thanks.

So we do live in Camberwell after all... Maurice and Alan Dale will be so pleased! ;-)

Sorry i have just seen this thread.

Have you still got the Electoral register? My Gran live in East Dulwich for many years.

Many thanks Helen.

Hi Helen

I don't have all of East Dulwich Grove and only the years 1948 1949 1950 1951 and 1953.

And only the odd numbers..

Hopefully that helps.

If you post your Gran's surname I will take a look.

Hi again

Sorry Helen I only have 'East Dulwich Grove'. Worth a try though.

I did find some DAVIES there and I will message you the details just in case they are yours.

"My great Grandmother was living at 47 Fellbrigg Road Camberwell on 1891 Census

In 1891, this would have referred to to the Borough of Camberwell, of which East Dulwich was part at that time. You will find some members of EDF, such as EDOldie, often lamenting its departure from the political map in 1965.

Hi Frisco

Thank you for the reply.

Checking the original copy of the Census you are correct.

Edwin/Ted Perry, his brother, cousin (Spencer) and at least one of Edwins sons were Public House Keepers.

Wonder if any of them ran pubs in the Dulwich area. They certainly moved around London.

Seasons greetings.
