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.

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.

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.

Rose

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
