Hey guys I know it's been a few years but I'm trying to find out about a Beatrice Marjorie Ingram who was a shopkeeper at 100 Wellesley Street. Does anyone know anything about her or the shop? I think she is my great grandmother and we think she may have been married twice before getting with my great grandad (and never marrying...!). Any information would be fantastic. Thank you!
 
The shop first appears between 1892 and 1895, then being run by William Groves. Between 1900 and 1903 it was taken over by Walter Bacon. By 1908 it is described as a grocers run by George White. By 1910, still a grocers, it is run by Robert Phillips, but by 1913 it is no longer described as a grocers, just a shop, run by John Stimson, In 1915 a shop run by Miss Maud Mary Beale, and in 1921 by Charles Edward Ashley. The electoral roll shows May Beatrice Ingram as being at 100 Wellesley St from 1922 up till 1939. However the directories list it in 1924 (robab ly referring to 1923) as being a shop run by Horace Tongue. Possibly he initially ran the shop for her (or the directory was rather out of date). I do not have directories from 1925-1931, but in 1932 it is a shop run by Mrs Beatrice M. Ingram who remains there till the 1943 edition. the shop has gone by the 1944 edition.
The position of the shop is shown in red on the c1950 map below.

Hi Both,

My Nan , Mary Faulkner , Nee Betteridge is the daughter of Lena Burtenshaw I have a photo of Lena) and Charles Betteridge. She married Frederick Faulkner.

Although Taylor is not unusual , Flora Taylor married my nans father Henry Faulkner of 77 Manor Farm Rd.

If theres a wedding album of Mary and Frederick i'd probably jump in the car and drive to you - and i'm on the south coast ;-)
