MILLERS
Hello John, Since posting my Walthamstow memories of my mother's family, the Millers, at Tower Stables, my e-mail address has changed and could you please change it to tasjude@airenet.com I would also like to add another photo of my mom, taken in 1911. That would have been the year she and her family left Walthamstow for their new life in western Canada. She was 19. I have also since learned from the 1901 U.K. census that two of my dad's great uncles, Walter and George Richardson were also living in Walthamstow at that time. They were both bricklayers. I am sure that my parents wouldn't have known that, as they didn't meet until 1928 in Oyen, Alberta. Incidentally, my dad was a bricklayer, as was his father and grandfather, and as I was until I retired.

I would also like to thank Bill Bayliss again for contacting me with information about Tower Stables, the history of the area, and web sites that gave me pictures of the area. Walthamstow Memories is a wonderful, friendly place to visit again and again.

Thanks John, and all the best in 2007.

Tas Richardson.

MARKS/DANIELS
I am trying to find information about my great, grandparents Joseph and Mary-Anne Marks. Mary Annes maiden name was Daniels. Their daughter Doris (my nan) was born in Walthamstow in 1920, which makes me think they were living there at the time. They later had a son called Sidney. Any information regarding them, especially when and where they were married would be gratefully recieved.
Many thanks,

MAZENGARBS
I am researching any Mazengarbs and connecting familiesmy grandmother Constance lived with her brother and sisters and parents Mary Ann and John Henry Mazengarb in the old school house, Vestry Road which is opposite Vestry House Museum. John Henry was a butcher, one in a long line of butchers going back through the generations. One being Charles Mazengarb from Essex transported to Australia for sheep stealing. During research I have found the early Mazengarbs/Massingarbs to be from either France of the Low Country (Belgium) Hugeunots/Walloons. Any information will be greatly appreciated, also happy to swop info. Brenda Riddle email

MINNS/DAMES
Hello, What a wonderful web site! I'm hoping someone is able to help me. My gt uncle John Royall Minns married Annie Elizabeth Dames at St Mary's church, Walthamstow in Sept 1888. He was described as a cook living at 9 Ravenswood Road and she as a servant of the same address. They subsequently emigrated to the USA via Australia and the Falkland Islands. The American side of the family have always believed that they were married in a church that was "owned" or on land owned by the Royall Minns family. Can anybody throw any light on this story? Or tell me if Ravenswood Rd still exists? I believe the Dames were cabinet makers in the area. Thanking you in anticipation. M Charlston email

MARSHALL
I must firstly congratulate you on your site. I came across this purely by accident and became so engrossed that I forgot my own mission. The letters and articles have evoked many a memory forgotten. I was born in Walthamstow in 1946 and lived at 5 Elm Road until the middle 70's. I too like many others am searching for the ancestors. My grandmother Frances 'Kate' Marshall (nee Walker) and granddad Frederick Marshall lived at 14 Selbourne Avenue from around 1909/10 until their respective deaths, granddad in 1929 and nanny in 1972. They had 8 children, Fred, Lilian (Parsons- my mother), George, Albert, Iris (Keene), Joyce (Smith), Flo (Mitchell, I think) and Bill. All of these children had children of their own, except Fred, so somewhere out there I have many first cousins that I have not seen or heard from for at least a quarter of a century. I am in the process of getting together the family tree but have so far been relatively unsuccessful on this side. I know that nanny was born in Alysham, Norfolk on 21/9/1885. If there is anyone out there that may remember this family or indeed are related to it, I would love to hear from you. Also whilst writing, I note that you have a number of letters from folks that now live abroad. I would also like to contact Dawn Collins who also lived in Elm Road until her mother Jean and brother Stephen moved to Australia in 1957. Dawn, or anyone who may have kept in touch with her, please drop me a line.
Your site is now on my list of favourites and I look forward to maybe being able to contribute from time to time.
Pat Durrant email

I emailed you a while back and you were kind enough to print my letter, asking for information on my grandparents. I have made the discovery that they had 9 children and not 8 and the one I missed was Edith 'Edie' (Ogden), who also live with her husband Fred and son Douglas in the same house. Doug married Helen (I think) who lived opposite and they then moved to the Lake district. Pat Durrant.

MARTIN nee PARISER
I am trying to find out where my nan is buried and also if any one has any information about my family, I would dearly love to hear from them. My mum, OLIVE ROSE MARTIN nee PARISER died last December, and I would like to know where her mum CAROLINE PARISER is buried so that I can arrange to have her ashes put there.I live in New Zealand, and don't know how to contact the cemetary. I was a wee girl when nannie died, but I am sure that it was up the road from the lighthouse. My mum,(Olive) was born and lived in GLENTHORNE ROAD , she was the youngest. She had two brothers, George and Ernie and one sister, Ethel. My uncle Ernie married DORIS and they lived in Glenthorne Road, they had a son DAVID and two daughters JEANIE AND DIANE. My Auntie Ethel married JOE WOODS, and they moved to MOORLAND Road and had two sons BOBBY and PAUL. Uncle George had two sons I think, one called ERNIE. My mum told me that in the war they had two Anderson shelters in the back garden because her grandad, who lived in the flat underneath them, had had a stroke. Any information about my family would be greatly appreciated. My cousin Paul sent me a photo of my nan, grandad, three great aunts, a greatgrandad and two baby uncles, george and ernie out the front of glenthorne road with a model of the boat my grandad built. He was a merchant seaman. I've encluded an attachment of the photo incase anybody recognises anybody. Hopefully and with thanks Sarah McDougall nee Martin email
