Where They Lived

Albert Edward was born at 31 Cursitor Street, to one side of Chancery Lane, in 1864. This address is shown in the Post Office London Directory for both 1865 and 1875 to be the premises of a "hair worker", so presumably they lived in a flat above the shop. When Alice and Rose died in 1871 the family was living at 42 New Market Terrace, York Road, St Pancras.

At the time of the 1881 census, the family lived at 9 Charles Street, St Andrew Holborn. Edward William was a Pocket Book Manufacturer, and Mary Ann was a Coffee House Keeper. In the Post Office London Directory for 1875, this address in Holborn, which runs through Hatton Garden from Leather Lane to Kirby Street, had also been coffee rooms, run by Michael Andrew SULLIVAN - presumably Mary Ann's father.

When Edward remarried after Mary Ann's death, he gave his address as just St Pancras; Maria, his new wife, gave hers as St James Clerkenwell. When their son Edward Andrew was born in 1886, they were living at 2 James Street, Holborn. This is (now) the short road which runs from Long Acre to Covent Garden Market; Covent Garden underground station is on the corner. Edward had become a Refreshment House Keeper.

In the 1901 Census, Jessie, a dressmaker, and Rosie were living together in Shoreditch.
