Might be a little late but on the 1935 ER Harold & Ada Todd are at 1 back 54 Midland St and Ada's parents, Benjamin & Florence Goode are at 2 back 54. 1911 census gives Ada's birthplace as what appears to be 1 back 48 Midland St. I wonder if the child in the doorway realised that there was a...

There's a Midland St that runs between Landor St and Garrison St, it's not very long though and there weren't many houses on it. Righthand side of this map... https://maps.nls.uk/view/228802046

Alfred is Alfred Evan Nall and Catherine probably is Ward.

I'd speculate that they possibly lived at no. 11 itself, not a back house, the ditto marks being just for Little King St. And the following 2 houses being the back houses behind no. 11. Either way it's nice to have numbers that early.

From 1888, arrow points to it...

I remember buying book from both the shops on Suffolk St, mid/late 90s. There's a piece in the Evening Mail 27 Jun 1996 about the shop moving a few doors up from their current location. It doesn't seem to mention the number but they were at 2-5 Suffolk St in 1998.

There was one up for auction just over a month ago... https://auctions.vintagenonsports.com/N310_Mayo_Cut_Plug_Boxing_Billy_Plimmer-LOT23889.aspx

I have one Plimmer in my family tree, a June Plimmer married a cousin of my mother. She appears to have been the 2 x great grand daughter of Thomas Plimmer, a brother of the George who married Mary Ann Horton. And one other very very tenuous connection, Ellen Plimmer, a daughter of the above...

Possibly or father & son. There's an Owen Hamnett (b1881) who had both a brother and son called Leonard, Though both Owen and his brother died in the 1950s.

Her sister, Mary Ann, is possibly there as well. Age slightly out. They had a brother, Samuel, who was alive in 1891. They are a little elusive.

How sad. :( For the child.

Could it be (the back of) Exeter Place rather than Exeter Passage? From 1954...

Ladies Specially Invited on the Poster made me laugh.

Did Theresa re-marry (bigamously) in 1903 to a James Lees? He may have been in prison in 1911. Possibly listed together in the Bham Gazette, 11 Jul 1902 and the Evening Despatch, 30 Jun 1902.

He may have died in 1942. On the 1939 Register he may have been living in a Salvation Army Hostel in Southwark.

I don't think he died in 1902, his father (also Joseph) possibly did but Joseph appears to be back in London in 1911 and 1921.

Jun qtr in Stone district, Lyn.

You previously mentioned that Freda thought her mother may have been Louisa Brassington Smith and she married a Harry J Gilbert. This marriage was registered in the Jun qtr of 1936 which would have been the same quarter as Freda's adoption. I was speculating whether Freda being adopted was...

I wonder if it's more than coincidence that the marriage reg. for Freda's possible mother was the same quarter of 1936 as the adoption?

If your question is similar to Darthdc why their gran didn't show up on the ER until 1928 aged 30, it was because only women over 30 were allowed to vote from 1918 until 1928 when that was lowered to 21, the same age as men.
