1900 1988
A Memory of Ealing.
My Gt Gran lived Oxford Road Ealing (I think Ealing Common or Ealing Broadway) she went under the name of Annie Crump although she should have been Annie Smart. She was a Boarding House Keeper. I cannot find any more information on her as I don't know which name she used, she was (maiden name) Annie Watkins, she married a Crump and had some little Crumps, her husband died and she married the man who was my gt granddad, Stephen Smart, in Worcestershire, they had my granddad Tom Crump (aka Thomas Smart), she changed his name to match the other children as Stephen disappears off the face of the earth in 1881.
Our families Crumps, Bevan, Wilsdon, Fretwell, Farrington, Ferris, Smith and Roberts then lived in Ealing through till my dad died in 1989. He was Sid Bevan.
There are lots of memeries of Ealing. Johns the hairdressers in Ealing Broadway was John Frieda family for one.
