I was born in Walthamstow as was my Mother and Father. My mothers father moved to Walthamstow in 1889 from the Kings Cross area when he was 3 yrs old so you could say that my memories of Walthamstow go back over 100 years
from the stories my grandparents and parents told me many of which I have written down. My fathers father moved to Leyton circa 1893 married and moved to Walthamstow in 1901. My mothers maiden name was Garraway her father and his brothers were very well known in Walthamstow Market from the early 20s to to late 50s in fact they were known as the Enamel Kings of Walthamstow selling pots and pans in
the 20s & 30s having fruit and veg stalls in 40s/ 50s their veg stall was alongside the eel man and sarsperrila man.
Like you I have many memories of my own which I would like to share as well some photographs that may provoke some memories in others. I have also traced and proved my Garraway maternal male line back to 1350 and my Thompson male ancestors back to 1730 my Garraway family arrived in
London circa 1520 and my Thompson family in 1840. So I could provide much more information than just Walthamstow.
If you think from what I have said above would be of value perhaps you can tell me how I become a Member and contribute to your web site.
