Michael Caine...1933 |
"In the 1933 register they were living at 49 Cornbury Street, Old Kent Road. |
The Cornbury Street they lived at was Old Kent Road. Presumably the street was cleared/replaced. If you look at a modern map then Comus House, Congreve St, London SE17 1TG is approximately where Cornbury Street was located. Here is an extract from a 1896 Report on an outbreak of diphtheria in Cornbury street, Old Kent Road": "Cornbury Street is a narrow cul de sac ~6o yards long, running at right angles to the Old Kent Road. It consists of forty-seven two-storied houses, and is inhabited by carmen, watermen, and others of the labouring class." |
In the 1939 electoral register Ellen and Maurice Micklewhite were registered at 14 Urlwin Street, SE5. The 1949 electoral register has the couple at 8 Marshall Gardens, SE1.The Elephant and Castle area of London in a prefab... In the 1964 electoral register Ellen F. Micklewhite is living at 6 Stockwell Park Walk, SW9.
Yours sincerely, G. Baker, on behalf of London Metropolitan Archives"
