Hi, I have a photo of my gt grandfather standing in front of a butcher`s shop called H Catto where he worked. Has anyone any idea where it was, it may have been in Ipswich. I can`t find him (William Charles Garrard born Ipswich 1877) in the 1911 census. He isn`t the one at Tendring.

Hi Jonesy, thanks for your reply. I know where he was living in 1901, but don`t know where he worked. He left his family sometime after 1905 and died at Croydon in 1947,don`t know where he was in between. The photo isn`t dated.

Original doesn't mention husband. Four children born and accounted for. Married 10 years.

There is a Henry Caton, Butcher, at 2, Upper Orwell Street, Ipswich in Kelly's 1900 Directory.

No trace of any Catto's anywhere - is the name on the shop in the photo definitely Catto?

Apologies,yes, the name is Caton, obviously a senior episode. This must be the shop. Apparently it went bankrupt and my ancestor had to leave home to find work in Croydon. Thanks.

Terry, who was the informant on William Charles' death certificate? Might yield some clues as to his circumstances.

Hi,I haven`t got his death certificate. He was either a boarder or living with another woman while still married to Gt Grandmother living in Ipswich.
