Kings from Rickmansworth

Alison Report 5 Oct 2007 14:15

The King family in Rickmansworth(my great grandparents) had a long history of owning and running a green grocer shop in Church Street which I'm sure has now long since been bought out and changed into a modern shop or office of some sort. However, one of my great aunts (Constance) owned and ran a sweet shop in High Street Rickmansworth. Her married surname was Gill. I'm looking for ANY information regarding the King family and would like to know if any family members carried on with running the shop. William King, my great great grandfather was married to a woman called Hannah who was born in Westminster, London and I'd also like to know her maiden name. Their surviving children were Georgina,Walter,Constance,Winifred(my granny)and Sadie. Walter married Rose and had a son called Jack and we think there may have been a second marriage to Kathleen?? Georgina's first married surname was Goodyear and she had a daughter called Susan who married Walter Gent and a son called Frederick. Georgina's second marriage was to Harold Hunt and they had a daughter called Dorothy who married Eric Coomber and they had 3 children called Martin Annette and Valerie. Constance married George Gill and their son was called William (Bill) who was in the navy a long time. We don't know Sadie's married name but apparently she had two sons called Peter and John. Some of this information may be slightly inaccurate as my mother Ann Fulks (nee Harding) has nothing written on paper and is relying on her memory alone. I'd be very grateful if I could track anyone connected to my mother's King side of the family. Thank you very much. Alison Nicholls (nee Fulks)
