Electoral Roll Help - Albert Daltrey

[GenieDi]

Can anyone help me please with a look up on electoral rolls for Albert Daltrey, seems like Bethnal Green area, middle initial W. He and my Nan married in 1948 and I would like to know where they lived please. I don't have the marriage cert as it's a second marriage I have never as yet gone into.

My Nan was Beatrice May, previously Sheldrick nee Stevenson.

MTIA:)

All the Beatrice Daltreys on the e rolls have a different middle initial. I looked for her death to see if they had perhaps moved out of Bethnal Green, but I couldn't find it. Do you know where she died?

[GenieDi]

Hi Merry, she only died 5 years back, Albert died around 1964/5. Her middle initial was M for May.

I'm only interested as my mother was evacuated in the war and says she came back to find her mother with Albert and his 5 children and I am wondering when this may have been?

[GenieDi]

I'm wondering also if they were living together before they married, the "story" doesn't make much sense date wise to me now.. Hadn't really thought of it much before.

[GenieDi]

They eventually settled in Dagenham, but again not sure when not ahving the marriage in 1948 isn't helping. Mother said they lived in a place near Victoria Park, but no idea what year.

[Merry]

I've found her with her first husband! (1936 - 81 Lewin Road, Streatham)

[GenieDi]

ooh, that's brilliant!! They married in 1931. She married him at a register office, my Aunt was on the way!

[Merry]

Here's Albert's death. The M is a mistranscription - the GRO index has W

Ty. I know I was around 4 when he died. In 1911 he is 3 with parents at Globe Rd., Bethnal Green.

[Merry]

This is the best fit for his birth (I realise this isn't what you wanted! lol But it may same looking something up twice if I post here!)

My Mothers recollections of being evacuated are fairly bad and I suppose as we are now estranged I am trying to piece this together to get a clearer picture, she was born in 1938 and I can't quite grasp the timeline in all this yet.

[Sue from Southend]

Their marriage was in Ilford which at that time was in Essex so assuming that they were living there too they wouldn't appear on the London Elecoral Rolls.

There is a Beatrice Sheldrick living at 72 Victoria Park Rd, Bethnal Green in 1945 though.

[GenieDi]

Yes that looks right..

[GenieDi]

ooh Sue that's fab. Kind of proves what my Mother said.

[GenieDi]

Sue is Albert living there as well by any chance?

[Sue from Southend]

No she's on her own I think.
My parents had their first home very near there at that time and they were/are large houses split into flats so the other names at no72 are - possibly living people deleted. And it's in Hackney not Bethnal Green as I said earlier! Sorry...

[GenieDi]

Thanks Sue. My geography is still dreadful so I wouldn't have realised lol Gosh I am going to have to call Ancestry next week when I have some money to ask them to upgrade my membership freebie.

[kiterunner]

Sue, am I right in thinking those names you posted up in post #16 are from the 1945 electoral register? In which case we will need to delete them unless you are sure they're no longer living.

[Sue from Southend]

Oops! Sorry, I didn't think! Yes from 1945. If the post has gone before you've noted the names Di let me know and I'll pm you!

[Merry]

Albert's first wife was Sarah Solomons, m 1929. They are together up to 1938 in Bethnal Green. There are a load more Albert D listings for BG after the war, but I've just looked a load of times for the first one (up and down six columns of names) and I still can't see him! Going to try the next one now!!

[GenieDi]

Merry and Sue thanks for helping. Merry did you see my post on William Greens death?

[Merry]

Not yet!

The Albert I saw after 1945 doesn't have a middle name and seems to have a different wife, so he may be a red herring.
