I'm looking for Penfolds who lived in the Twickenham / Brentford area in the 1800s.
John Penfold is the earliest I've found, born 1818/19 and married Mary Anne Hall. they had 11 children between 1848 and 1868: John Joseph 1848, Sophia 1850, George 1853, Eliza 1855, Emma 1857, Edward 1859, Henry 1861, Jane 1862, Alice 1864, Annie 1866, Mary 1868.

In the 1851 census John was living as a coachman with his family lodging at Three Tuns Public House, 66, London Road, Twickenham. In later censuses he was a stableman and postillion coachman in the same area. He died in 1881.

John Joseph is my ancestor and in the 1881 census was living at Colne Road, Twickenham with parents and 9 siblings - occupation - billiard marker.

There are a lot of Penfolds here - anyone out there know of any of them?

In response to the enquiry about the Kensington Workhouse and Infirmiry, I do not know about the Workhouse but suspect the Infirmary was what became St Lukes Hospital, near Sidney St ( St Lukes Church is in Sydney St) . My Randall ancestors rented a house in Sydney St from St Lukes Hospital from around 1898 unti 1980.

I am trying to trace any descendants of William Arthur Fox (1868 -1945) and Mary Ann Tabor (1868-1909). They married 1899 at St Mary's Newington, lived in South London -Camberwell, Lewisham, Plumstead areas and had 2 children - Lydia born 1900 and Arthur John born 1902. I am particularly trying to find out what happened to Arthur, whether he married and had children. Any help appreciated.

My family lived in Kenton Middlesex in 1948 (Before I was born) and had tickets for Olympics. My father went to most of the events in the stadium and my brother ( 20 years my senior) went to some events but my mother only attended the opening and closing ceremonies.

On this day in 1948, the Olympic Games opened in London, at Wembley.
The first games since the Second World War, they signalled hope for all.
