PEARCE
am trying to find out more out my mother's family background and wonder if anyone using this site may be able to help.
My grandparents, Henry and Florence Pearce lived in 404 Hoe Street till about 1933. Their two daughters, Phyllis Eleanor (my mother) and Eunice were born in 1910 and 1917. Both girls went to a nearby school, Carisbrooke College - can find no trace of this, in Carisbrooke Road somewhere, presumbably? Anything (text or photos) from anyone who knows about that area, what buildings or shops or schools were there at the time...........would be helpful.

Thanks.

DELL/SEARLE/FULLER/PIERCY/PERRYMENT
I was wondering if anyone knew of the Alfred Anthony Dell Family/Richard Eardley Searle Family/Edward Charles Fuller Family/Arthur Ernest Piercy Family /Frank Perryment Family.I do have alot of information on alot of these families, but I also I have alot missing so I was wondering if anyone can help. So instead of detailing info on the site because it is way to much, I thought I would ask if anyone knows of these names and if so we could look into it more. Hoping to talk to someone soon Lorraine email

BRIGHT/PRING/SIMMONS FAMILIES
I am seeking information on these families some of whom left Walthamstow in 1911 and 1912 to emigrate to New Zealand. Charles Bright and his father Edwin were master cabinet makers and I would like to find out more about this industry in Walthamstow. We still have one or two pieces of furniture intricately inlaid and carved. Charles Bright lived in 14 Russell Rd in 1901. He died in 1911 and shortly afterwards his wife and 3 small daughters left for NZ. His wife’s family – mother Amelia Pring, brothers John and Harold Pring and sister Florence (married to John Robert Simmons) and their families all arrived in New Zealand in 1912. I would like to hear from any family members still living in Walthamstow, or anyone who can tell me more about the furniture making industry in Walthamstow in the 1880-1910 period. Thank you, Heather email:

PASOLA
Thanks to your splendid site, I have spotted the following - who I know to be relatives of mine by my Grandmother's first marriage. I refer to Charlie (Carlo Antonio's) PASOLA family from Newcastle, whose cousins were the SILMONS, WELD SILMONS and De WELD SILMONS from Sarah Jane MONAGHAN SERRANO's marriage to William Osman WELD SILMON (who originally had a Moroccan Arabic name and was born in Tetuan, c. 1853-56, died at 68 De Gray Street, Benwell, Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1918). Charlie was my Uncle, brother to Leonora Maria ("Lola"), so Terry PASOLA (see below), is one of my long lost Cousins, from one generation or another. Can you possibly put me in touch? Terry left no e-mail link to contact - otherwise, I would not be imposing on you like this, for which please accept my sincerest apologies. Every good wish for further successes with your wonderful and immensely helpful site. Joseph ("Joe" Silmon-Monerri (part of the half-Spanish family - Terry if you're reading this - younger brother of Arthur, George and Pepita )

MAUNDER/STONE /PARTRIDGE Does anyone have any information about William Daniel MAUNDER who married Ellen STONE? (She was the widow of William STONE and her maiden name was Ellen PARTRIDGE-MAUNDER). They were married at Chiswick Parish Church on 22nd December 1875. William D. MAUNDER is described seperately as Draper, Barriser of Law, and Gentleman on three documents that I hold. The address in Walthamstow is 6, Orford Road. Ellen is also described as Draper. They were the parents of my grandmother Ethel Daisy MAUNDER who was born 3rd September 1879 at this address.

POWELL, Mabel
I am searching for Mabel Ethel Powell (or living relatives of), formerly of 66 South Grove, Walthamstow, who gave birth to a boy Albert on 9 June 1919 at the Forest Gate Sick Home. Albert Powell is my father. He was put into the Dorney Children's Home, Dorney, near Windsor, as a baby until 1927 when, aged 8, he was sent to Western Australia under the auspices of the Kingsley Fairbridge Child Emigration Scheme. All his life he searched for his birth certificate and details of his parents, but he never found or knew, or was told his identity. Only just this week, after twenty years research myself, including a trip to England in 1992, was I sent the above details which confirms his identity. It is truly remarkable! I wonder if anyone can imagine what it has been like for my father and I wanting to know our family, and the incredible task we undertook to try and find out - a whole lifetime. I set upon the task from this day forward with the hopeful endeavour of finding my grandmother and possible living relatives. I never thought I would ever know. For my father's sake, this is truly a major achievement in our family history. With grateful thanks. Barbara Powell email

PARRY /PAWLEY
Louisa Elizabeth Parry married Herbert Cecil Pawley in the December quarter of 1898 in West Ham and we know that they lived at 118 Belgrave Road Walthamstow for some time and had at least one daughter Ethel Maud who was born on the 13th of September 1902. Herbert at that time worked as a plumber...We think that other children may have included two sons and another daugther...Herbert and Robert but the daughters name we not sure but may have been known as Minnie Would sure like to here from anyone who can provide any info on the families.
