Pizer stated that he stayed at a common lodging house in Holloway Rd. called the 'Round House' on Thursday August 30th. Some books and newspapers also call this lodging house 'Crossman's'.
I was looking through some Pizer related newspaper reports yesterday and noticed for the first time that the majority of newspapers didn't actually report that Pizer stayed at Crossman's, but instead they state 'Crossingham's' in Hollway Road.
Thinking it was probably a mistake and checking with other researchers who also thought it probably was,I was surprised to come across a man named Albert Crossingham living at 185 Holloway Rd in 1888 in electoral registers. Checking the 1891 census Albert Crossingham is living at 160 Holloway Rd and gives his occupation as 'lodging house keeper.'
I've looked at the genealogy of both Albert Crossingham of Holloway Rd and William Crossingham of Dorset St and they were in fact cousins.
A mistake and a coincidence?..
Timothy Donovan who was deputy at Crossingham's in Dorset Street claimed to have known 'Leather Apron' and said he had previously thrown him out of the lodging house.
