Find Ancestors

I am trying to find Edward Wallis on the 1939 Register, and i have searched it within an inch of its life ..with no success. I would be grateful for some fresh eyes to have a look please.

Edward Wallis born c1872 (died 1949). Widower of Lydia Wallis (she died in 1935) at that time they lived at 27 Dorset Road. Edward Wallis was a Wood cutter machinist. At the time of his death in 1949 he lived at 14 Lansdowne Gardens. I do not know where he was between 1935 and 1949.

Thanks

Nicki

Can you tel us where Dorset Close and Landsdowne Gardens are please?

Which area were those addresses in please?

Did they have any children?

Do you have Lydia's maiden name ?

Thanks,

Dea x

Really sorry - Lambeth/London

Lydia's maiden name was Hill.

Their children:

Edward Albert Wallis 12 MAY 1894 - 23 FEB 1973
Henry 14 OCT 1895 - 11 APR 1976
Lydia 31 JULY 1897 - 28 APRIL 1981
Elizabeth 1899 - 18 DEC 1914
John 19 OCT 1904 - 4 APR 1988
Emily 26 NOV 1906 - 22 NOV1985
William 5 OCT1909 - 24 MAR 1980

Have you found his children in 1939 please? Just in case he's living with some of them.

For elimination purposes, looking on the London Electoral Rolls for an Edward Wallis

1938 – 106 Dawes St, Southwark with a Lucy Mary Wallis
1938 – 4 Strathnaire St, Bermondsey with an Annie Wallis
As you’ve given the names of the children we could probably rule those out.

Did he have a middle name?

Edward Wallis
Year: 1945
County or Borough: Lambeth
Ward or Division/Constituency: Lambeth
Street address: 14 Lansdowne Gardens

Looks like a HMO
Nellie C Legge, Kathleen M Wray, Ernest V Hayes, John W Keane

On the 1939 i found Edward Albert with his wife Ivy, Lydia is a widow with the surname Harpham, John and his wife Ivy. Henry with his wife Doris and Emily is now Emily Lissner.

William was my grandfather and is in India and Elizabeth is already deceased.


I do not know if Edward senior had any other names.

Also there an Annie Wallis

See if you can find Dorset Close on http://bombsight.org/#16/51.4756/-0.1226
It's a map plotting were bombs fell during the blitz.

1939 only lists Dorset Road, not Dorset Close.

mmmm I think i have made a mistake with the address it is Dorset Road. Oops and ovbiously huge apologies.

Not to worry - we still can't seem to find him!

i have tried all sorts for the past few days - it is really frustrating x

Eventually found Dorset Road on the bombsight map - there doesn't appear to have been any dropped on it, so that rules out it becoming uninhabitable.

Is it possible to do just address only searches on 1939 register? i am at work now so cant access it x

Yes it is Nicki.

What address do you want please?
