The father was a Solicitor's clerk - so perhaps he lived in his employer's premises? Perhaps someone living in the London area can throw some light on the address!

Here's the family in 1891 and the father's occupation is the same.

Re: Fitt - Thanks for your prompt replies, Jonesy, David, Rootgatherer, Ginny, David and Peter. What a wonderful bunch you are. This information is for my son-in-law. His family have some BIG secrets and wont tell. So we are trying to piece together the bits of information we have. Still wondering though, are we reading the address correctly, 34 Goal Chambers, Kennington Goal?? Thanks for the info. on his departure to Australia on the 'Baradine'. Gratefully, Carolyn

Walter Cyril ?

Carolyn Report 29 Aug 2009 09:44

I have a copy of Birth Cert. for Cyril Fitt, born 7th Feb. 1899 at 34 Goal Chambers, Kennington Goal. Registration Dist. Lambeth, sub dist. of Kennington in the County of London. Now, is it really Goal or was it supposed to be the old spelling Gaol (Jail). Often mis-read as 'Goal'. Father's name William Charles Fitt, Mother's name Isabella Jane Fitt formerly Wallis. Does the word 'formerly' mean a maiden name or previously married name? Also, they came to Australia, possibly to Tasmania. How can I found out when they emigrated? I would be grateful for any help. Thanks, Carolyn . Keeping in mind the time difference between UK and Aus. I will watch this space as often as I can.
