Look forward to reminiscing.

I come from a long line of people born & bred in Tottenham and love learning about the history of the area

I am researching the history of Tottenham Hotspur’s this paper would be great for researching past games and players

Massive family background in the area, local news archive would be superb

Gran lived 79 Rosebery Road N9, it was her fathers home before. Compulsory purchased in the 70’s, would love in history/ pictures! I have fab photo taken outside with my great gran, I was 3 but remember it being taken!

After any photos of Salisbury’s mansions Edmonton circa 1950-60 my mother lived there

More updates please up to 2000 at least

Although I was born in the Mothers Hospital in Hackney in 1957, we lived in Tottenham at Tenterden Road (N17) until about 1970, then at Ida Road (N15) on the then new Avenue Road estate for a couple of years until moving to Wilmot Road (N17) near Downhills Park. I went to Lancasterian School and then on to Tottenham School. My memories of Tottenham include the fact that despite living about 5 minutes from the Spurs ground I grew up supporting Arsenal as an uncle took me to see them first. Growing up in Tottenham in the 1960's and supporting Arsenal wasn't a great combination and I remember my mum trying to buy me an Arsenal shirt at Elseys in the High Road and more or less being told by the shop assistant to "p*** off up to Highbury to get one". I know it's an old cliche now to say it was a different world then but it was. I remember spending many playing football over Bruce Castle Park with the famous old oak tree and watching cricket matches in the summer with over 20 a side teams of West Indian blokes who would play on until it was too dark to see the ball. We would play runouts and war games in the old empty terrace housing around Whitehall Street and Love Lane in the late 60's and continue when the new maisonettes were being built. I was a member of the 3rd Tottenham Boys Brigade and the Army Cadets (225 Tottenham) in the new huts built behind the old Drill Hall in the High Road. Saturday morning pictures at the Florida (the fleapit), the Palace or at the Regal at Edmonton. I remember being envious of mates who lived in flats in Millicent Fawcett Court or the pre-fabs in Ashford Road because they had bathrooms and an indoor toilet which our little terrace house in Tenterden Road lacked. We looked after cars on a Saturday when Spurs were at home. Sadly ther isn't much of the Tottenham of my childhood left now - the shops at Bruce Grove including the old North London Store and Burgesses the department store and the houses (and streets) where I lived have all dissappeared.

I am interested in Poland as my parents both came to Tottenham (father in 1920?) and mother in 1933.Mother was from Bialystok and Father from Chenstahof, not the correct spelling, but the best I can do is to spell it phonetically.

My 4x Great grandmother lived in Lorenco Rd during the war, with her daughter Emily Kilbey and her family.
I would be interested to know if anyone remembers the Kilbeys/Keytes and if they have any family stories

Hi looking to find any info of my grandad who lived in Lorenco rd ,was I think a tinker ,he was married to my Nan Rosie ,he’s name was Rubin ,had three sons ,Charlie ,Billy ,Rubin ,daughters ,Rosie ,Minnie ,Joan ,Margaret and my mum Iris ,would love to see a photo of my grandad if any one has ,he had one arm missing from world war 1

My grandfather lived at 63 Lorenco road their names were william sarah Stephens and their 7 children on the 1901 and 1911 census!
Does anyone remember any stephens

My dad was born and lived at 72a Lorenco rd his name was also Robert Skipp, he was the youngest of 8.. i think.. he was always telling me about his young life with his brothers and sisters, and times he spent in the Compass's. My Uncles and Aunts have all passed but his stories still live on with me and my kids..

More instalments pleae

my late father, Sevek Winograd and my mother Frajda Kempinska were from Lodz before moving to Tottenham in the 1920s I’m looking for any articles concerning their bagel shop on the high road

I am trying to find out more about my ancestry and link to County Tyrone and North London My grandfathers family was from County Tyrone but not sure where. The last name was McCarroll. I believe Patrick J. McCarroll son of Patrick McCarroll and Bella Gabbeny or Gibney was born on Nov 9, 1898 in County Tyrone. He moved to the United Kingdom Wood Green but not sure when. Do you know where I could look for more information?
Thank You

The involvement of a Tottenham man in this famous expedition was recognized by Cllr Douglas Clark who was Mayor of Haringey in 1973. He had received a letter from some former residents of Tottenham who had drawn his attention to the exploits of Walter How shortly after his death. They also provided a copy of a wonderful letter that had been written by Walter How in 1965 when he recalled some snippets of information regarding his personal involvement with the Antarctic expedition.

Hi all,

I am looking to track down family who originated in the Edmonton area...

Alfred Cooper 1901-1982 & Phyllis Cooper nee Jones 1903 -1972

Their children were:

Alfred Soloman Cooper 1923-1998

Alexander Cooper 1927-1951 (my paternal grandfather)

Raymond Cooper 1933-1882

I have address of Lawrence Road (35) for Alfred and Phyllis and there after Woolmer Road (70) for all of them.

Alfred I have no further details for.

Alexander married May Dorothy Ross (Dolly) and had 3 sons Michael (my dad) Alex and Charlie

Raymond from what I understand married a Doreen Lampe and had a daughter called Sharon then remarried to Ivy Nicholls and had 2 children called Raymond and Kim.

I have spent the best part of the past 7 years doing my family history but the Cooper line evades me as my paternal grandfather died when my father and his brothers were small and my nan passed away 20+ years ago and now I have no one left to ask as my dad knows no further than his grandparents names (Alfred and Phyllis) and of Raymond.

If there are any relatives of the above I would love to hear from you

Any photos of the old Tottenham grounds inside and outside of the old west stand and the shelf

I was born in Tottenham and lived with my parents and brother and two sisters at 461, Seven Sisters Road. This was in a long row of early Victorian three storey terraced house divided mainly into separate flats all over shops or business premises. Beneath our house there was a doctor's surgery, The doctor was Dr Smulion (No idea of correct spelling) Next door conveniently an undertakers. Our house was somewhere opposite the Stamford Hill Bakery. My nan lived close to us at number 433. When I was about five years of age, in 1937, we moved to live in a flat over a club in Finsbury Park where my dad was employed as head steward. In 1941 at the outbreak of war we children were evacuated to St.Ives in Huntingdonshire. We were later joined by our parents and the family then settled in St.Ives and we never returned to London. I know that my dad Clyde, had several siblings and relations still living in and around Islington and Edmonton but we have no idea who they are now or where they are as we lost touch very many years ago. Would be nice to trace some of them. This is a photograph of the bill for conveying my mum and dad from my nans house at 433 Seven Sisters Road to St.Anns church for their wedding in 1946
