    Harry Evans - Clarendon Street area 1915 - 1920

He was named in a divorce petition, that failed through lack of evidence in 1922. Outcome was separation...

    Thank you MWS - I didn't know I could do that. Meantime: Harry Evans was a "regular visitor" to Nellie Walker at number 38 Clarendon Street from around 1915 to 1920. He was named in a divorce petition, that failed through lack of evidence in 1922.

    Thank you for trying anyway. I have seen the Aerial View and I had an idea of where #38 might be - your description helps a lot. Anyone heard of a Harry Evans from the area, by the way? I can't find him anywhere.

    Clarendon Street Aston

    Do you have any further information about that, and if so, are you willing to share that with me, privately if you wish? I suspect that WAS my Granny Nellie Walker, who had many problems. We don't know exactly when she and Frank moved to Clarendon Street from nearby Cook Street, but it would...

    Clarendon Street Aston

    Any have photos of no 38 Clarendon Street where my Granny lived? (See earlier post!) Also had further family as here from around 1911 onwards: Margaret (known as Maria) and James Shaw had the Royal Oak / Bosted Boot pub at number 2 Clarendon Street - anyone remember them? Also Florence and John...

    Clarendon Street Aston

    Hello - New to group, hope you or someone related picks this up! My Great Granny Nellie Walker lived at number 38 Clarendon Street, certainly in 1918 with her husband Frank Walker. In 1919 she had a Lodger couple by name of Findlay. Mother Doris - on 14th April 1919, killed her baby son...
