Does anyone know the name of the people who ran the off licence on the corner of Station road and Garfield road in about 1930?
My wife's grandparents lived at 17 Garfield road. Name CHAPMAN
Or the number of the building; I may then be able to get some info from the 1911 census.

Doubt it Paul

If they lived above the business it maybe found on the electoral roll

Not much help ..... But maybe worth a search around

Is this one of the Chapmans?

The other occupants of #17 are

At one end of the road is School House so probably not the off-licence.

The lowest numbers

It might be worth asking the local FH centre if they have trade directories which are more likely to state if any property is a shop.

As Paul is a new poster, I will send him a friendly message on how to return to his thread. :-)

Thank you to all who took the time and trouble to offer advice; to Cynthia for her guidance in working with this site and to Jax and Renes for their efforts on my behalf.
To DetEcTive, your info is really interesting.

Thank you all.

I came across this thread whilst doing a bit of googling regarding my late uncle, Richard Pyle (1914-c1999).

I discovered a 1936 Southgate South Ward Polling District record, which shows Richard and his wife Elsie (nee Chapman) living at 1 Garfield Road N11. I don't think that Garfield Road exists today but there is a Garfield Childrens Centre in Springfield Road N11, which could have been Garfield Road School previously. Garfield Road might have been re-named as Springfield Road.

Earlier comments on this thread mentions that a family called Chapman lived at 17 Garfield Rd in about 1930. Possibly relatives of Elsie? Does anyone have any further information?

As Paul is still a novice poster, as are you, click on his name to send a message. He is unlikely to be checking this thread when/if he logs onto the site.

Its always interesting to get other opinions :-)
