Amend that last info slightly.
Fred was posted to Kenya in 1958, probably came back ready for discharge in 1960. So Annie may not have lived with him.

Hi Pauline

My dad was stationed at Mill Hill, home of the Middlesex Regiment.
I think Fred was somewhere else in London.
I grew up in Willesden,not that far from you.

There was an army barracks at Mill Hill, around that time, which is not far from Hendon/Cricklewood. Maybe the Army guy was based there. It might help you geographicly.
I used to live ib that area in my distant youth
Pauline

Thanks to you ladies for your help.

No date for grandmothers death. 1960+ or - 5 years.
Probably North London, Finchley, Hendon. I believe that she lived with mothers brother Frederick Large He was in the army, Captain/Acting Major, Royal Artillery based somewhere in London.

Re the 1911 details which Janet posted.

The address is 58 Walnut Tree Walk but it appears to be some sort of a boarding house.

There are 12 people living there in total but it doesn't look like any of them are connected to Mr. + Mrs. Large.

Edmund Alfred Large died 13th. March 1931, aged 67. Interred at Hendon Park Cemetery, Mill Hill.
This from a photocopy of a In Memoriam card.
Looks like the name Edward/Edmund was interchangeable within the family.
I have a marriage certificate for Annie Elizabeth Hart and Horace John Bull at Christchurch, Brondesbury, Parish of Willesden. London NW10 for Oct. 20, 1903.
John

I believe that he served in the Boer War in 1901.

If he was in the army he might well have been abroad during the 1901 census.

My mothers birth certificate calls her mother Mrs.Large though I am not sure that they were married.

Jan

Hi Janet,

Which reg. district does Cricklewood come under? Do you have an actual address?
Jan

Thank you John,

I was just about to copy your pm onto here!!

Again,

What details do you have from 1915 ?

Who was the grandmother he lived with? - at what address in Cricklewood ?

+ any other details you have from this time?

Hi Dea
Done it again stupid error or not the best way to do things.

Edward lived with my grandmother until death in 1931. They lived in Cricklewood where he was a caretaker of a church hall

John

What happened in 1915?

What info do you have for this date?

Dea x

Deborah and Ann

Same goes for you my error through ignorance.

Thanks for reply and you have the right Edward/Edmund born in Lambeth but no knowledge after 1891. until about 1915.

John

What info do you have for him dating from 1915?

Hi Sharon

Yes this is Edward/Edmund. But after 1891 have found nothing.
