Hi Lou, Joseanne, Thank you both so much for taking the time to look at this for me, hopefully Jackie will take a look when she goes, though I feel guilty about having to rely on people to do it for me, but as you can see its not possible for me to nip over for the day! Once again thanks for everything. Debs x

How about putting a message on this or the records board asking if anyone going to Lambeth library will do look-up for you. Worth a try?

Hi Debbie She has just mailed me back and said much the same as Jackie although you should be able to search the year you need without any problems, it's more recent elec rolls some places can be funny about releasing info on. Looks like you're sorted anyway if Jackie can take a look for you. Hope you find him! Lou

Hi Jackie, Thank you very much for the offer, I would love you to look for me, I too was born in Lambeth, we lived in Herne Hill near Brockwell Park, though I left in about 1974 when I was 4ish. Yes please i will email you with all the details. Thanks Debs x

Lou, His full name is Henry George Elliott b c1900, married in Lambeth register office Jan 1931 to Mary Warman, he died 1st qu 1960 age 61 in Lambeth. His father William Edward Elliott was on the marriage cert in 1931 put as deceased and occ as a wheelwright. Thank you Debs x

Lou, Your a star, even if nothing comes of it I really appreciate your time and effort, without people like you this site wouldnt work the way it does. Only been a member for a month, so just getting to grips with things. Thanks again. Debs x

Hi Deb It's still do-able....I've just emailed someone I know who knows the area. When she gets back to me with where they are kept and whether you can email the place for the info I will let you know Lou

Hi Lou, You know I thought that is what the answer was going to be!! Hey never mind, you dont know unless you ask do you? Thanks for the answer though. Debs x

Debbie The electoral registers will be held at the nearest main library to the area the address is in. I'm assuming that you're over the pond so popping to Lambeth isn't an option? Lou

Thanks kate, now comes the silly question, how do I do that?? I did say it was a silly one didnt I? Debs x

The only thing I can think of is to look at the electoral register. Kate.

Hi Jess, thanks for answering, thought I was going onto page 2 then! Ok this is what I have.. 1 missing grandad... but I know when he married my nan Mary Warman Jan 1931 they both put this on the cert as their address, I believe it could have been her family home, though not sure, hence thought it could be his, I have hit my brick wall with my grandad you see, his name was Henry/Harry George Elliott born c 1900 have searched the census' but cant tie him in with his father hence I thought of this route. Thanks again. Debs x

Not sure if this can be done... Can anyone tell me who lived at this address in 1931? I know Mary Warman did, as its on her marriage cert but not sure if my grandad did too, as it is down for both of them. Also sure she wouldnt have lived alone. Trying to break down my brick wall!! 64 Bonnington Square, Lambeth London. Any help or info would be gratefully appreciated. Debs x
