Battersea locations, particularly for Sanders and Hill
SOME FURTHER NOTES:
The mother of the Sanders above is Lizzie Louisa Hill, who is a sister to George John Hill the father of the Hills above, so the Hills and Sanders above are first cousins.
The father of the Whitlocks above is George Whitlock who worked on the ferry to Vlissingen and knew the father of the De Smits above, Carolus Franciscus De Smit, who was a captain of the Vlissingen pilot boats.
There were many other
members of this group of friends, but no others who married into my family
as far as I know. The close friends included the Charringtons: Helen
Margaret Charrington (Nolly), Bessie Charrington and Sid Charrington and
a Freddie Hammer and others. Jack & Edith Knibb were later friends
- having met Rose Annie Cossins (nee Sanders) and her husband Hubert when
they all moved into the new houses in Spring Grove Crescent, Lampton -
presumably in the very late 20s or early 30s.
