Millers Court Residents, 1888

[Colin Macdonald]

Is there any way of linking BMD records with a specific address? People are being born and die all the time so if any birth and death records for Millers Court for say 1887-1889 could be found it might provide more information.

The London Hospital Archives might turn up one or two. My daughter and I once spent a day looking for various names. Has anyone been through them looking specifically for addresses rather than names?

[Sam Flynn]

By a remarkable coincidence, Colin, I've been searching through the London Hospital Archives, and can reveal the following residents on the "ground floor" of Miller's Court, during the years 1888-89

#1 Julia Venturney
#2 George and Jane Keyler
#3 Mrs Kennedy
#4 Montague John Druitt
#5 Mary Ann Cox
#6 David Cohen
#7 Seweryn Klosowski
#8 Walter Sickert
#9 John Pizer
#10 Mary Pearcey
#11 William Bury
#12 Gerald the Orang-Utan
#13 [Vacant]


... an embarrassment of riches!

I have always held strong opinions regarding Gerald, and the more I think the matter over, the stronger do these opinions become. The truth, however, will never be known, and did indeed, at one time lie at the top of a fruit tree, if my conjections be correct!

[Robert Linford]

OK. If you stand on my shoulders, Gerald, you should be able to reach the lowest branch.
