Emily Kingham
Penfold Street 1937
By Lily Kingham
I am researching the life of my great-grandmother and her family. Emily Elsie Kingham, nee Smith, moved to Penfold Street from Cato Street (then Horace Street) in approximately 1937. She was 51 years old, and very poor.
She had four daughters: Dolly, aged 27, Lily (my grandmother), aged 24, Rene and Ann, both in their twenties. She also had two sons: George, 14, and Lawrence, 10.
Does anyone remember them?
Emily was born in Orcus Street which was demolished shortly after she was born. The father of her children, Daniel Alfred Kingham, was also born and bred in Lisson Grove, as were his parents and grandparents before him. Does anyone know of any Kinghams in Lisson Grove?
I'd be grateful for any help.
