CHATTERS & HAGGER - posted 12 Mar 2009
Does anyone have any information about a Chatters or Hagger family living in Walthamstow in about 1810? I am particularly interested in finding a baptism record for Thomas (Hagger or Chatters) who was born about 1810 and who was transported to Australia in 1829. Thanks.

CUNNEW
I have taken on a huge task and at the moment am not doing very well!!! My grandmother Doris was born in Walthamstow in 1919, is currently 87 years old, and not in very good health. She has been trying to trace her brother and sister for over 70 years and has had no success; she has even tried Cilla Black on Suprise Suprise, but no success. I am hoping that perhaps you can help?
Her mother, Rosina CUNNEW (nee Hughes, born in Wales, had a brother called Bert?) died in or around 1926, and shortly afterwards, her father James CUNNEW took her younger sister, IVY CUNNEW, aged approx 5yrs, and her younger brother, JAMES (JIMMY) CUNNEW, aged approx 3yrs, for a 'bike ride'. He came back without them, telling my nan that they had been adopted by a rich family in Greenwich. My nan has been searching for them ever since. I have just started myself, but with very few details to go on, I am not doing so well!!
Please, if anyone can give me any information, it would be greatly appreciated. I think my nan has resigned herself to the fact that they may be dead, and that she may never find them, but it is such a sad story, and there must be SOMEONE out there that can give me some info - any info - on who the adpotive family are, or what king of agency was used - eg Barnado's, Salvation Army, church... I would dearly love to be able to give my nan the information she has been seeking for seven decades, if only to put her mind at rest. If you think you can help, please email me, or call me on 01733344142, or 07930335864.Thank you very much for your time,

LUNN/CLARK/SAPSFORD
My husband's grandparents were married at St Mary's Church, Walthamstow in 1896. Albert Seaton LUNN had been born 1872c at Streatham in Essex but lived with his grandparents in Dogmersfield in Hampshire after his father died when he was about 10 years old. Edith Lucy CLARKE was born 16Dec1875 at Back of Castle, Parish of Walthamstow - the daughter of William CLARKE and Amelia SAPSFORD. In the 1881 Census, William and Amelia and their seven chidlren lived at 13 Payze & Gatehouse Cottages in the parish of St Peter in Walthamstow. The family continued to live in the Walthamstow/Woodford area for many years. William and Amelia's children were Amelia Selina, William J, George, Jessey, Marian, Albert and Edith Lucy - born between 1852 and 1875. Albert and Edith moved from Walthamstow soon after their marriage, living at Godalming, Wickam and Dover before leaving for Australia in 1912 and 1913. My husband and I visited Walthamstow in 1999 but did not have all this information at that time. We have a copy of Edith's birth and death certificates and the church copy of her marriage to Albert Seaton Lunn. Would love to contact any descendants of the CLARKE/LUNN or SAPSFORD families in your area. Do the addresses I have from the certificates still exist? Hoping to be able to further my research with your help Regards

COUNSELL/LEE/LITTLE/QUINN - Posted:16/02/2009
I am working on my family tree, and would appreciate any information on these families, who lived in Walthamstom in the first part of 1900.
My grandparents (Daniel Joseph & Eliza Ellen neé Stacey) lived if the Ballard Almshouses (Maynard Rd), and later my grandmother moved into the Squires Almshouses. My Aunt Nellie Kate Quinn (neé Lee) lived in (31?) Bacontree Avenue, with her sister Lily. Enid May Counsell married my uncle Albert Edward Quinn, I believe they had a son called David in 1936. Lastly, I've come across a Mr. L. Little, who lived (in 1935) at 354, Hoe Street and was also connected with the family.
Any - no matter how small - piece of information shall be accepted with gratitude. Thanks.
