Footnote :- My knowelege of my grandfather is limited. I remember him and my grandmother living on the ground level of a three storey house in Longcroft Road which was off of the Albany Road in the Camberwell district of London. His eldest son John, wife Marie (Maria) and their two children Marie and John lived on the first floor and his youngest daughter Ivy and her husband Arthur Jones lived on the second floor. I also remember Christmas time just after the war, when the whole family would come and stay at the house for Christmas and Boxing Day. It must have been cramped, sixteen adults and about eight children. I have been told that he spent some time in an orphanage but at this stage do not know how long for or why. For he had a step-mother and a few elder half brothers and sisters who should have been able to care for him. I know where he was living in the 1881 census but have been unable to locate him in the 1901 census. However three years later he and Susan White were married, so he must have been around somewhere. About the same time he was employed as a carman at the jam factory of E & T Pink, where he stayed, until he started work on the 16th Aug 1915, with Sainsbury's the grocery store, also as a carman. He worked out of their head office at Stanford Street, Blackfriars. See attachment (A 020).
