PIPER - Brothers Edward, Charles and Ben
- Barking
I am looking for three of my gt.uncles. EDWARD JOHN PIPER was born 28 June 1878 in Barking. I think he retired from the Navy and ran a guest house in Portsmouth. CHARLES JOHN PIPER ("Jack") was born 16 May 1883 in Wapping. I believe he served in the Royal Engineers and wrote a book on engineering. He emigrated to America in the 1920s. BENJAMIN ORMONDE PIPER was born in West Ham on 03 October 1887. He married Annie L. Hudson and may have emigrated to Australia. Any information on these three brothers (they had five other siblings) would be much appreciated.

James Joseph Gorrod

Hello
I am looking for any information about a James Joseph GORROD - fisherman - who may have married my great great grandmother Alice Sinclair Knight around 1862 in Barking.

I would be most grateful for any information. Thank you.

Beaumont cut
- Beaumont
Beaumont in Essex's full name is Beaumont-cum-Moze. The cut is where the river joins the sea. A marshy area between Beaumont village and Thorpe-le-Soken. Follow directions for Beaumont Quay. Much of this land had been left to a London Hospital (Guy's I think). There are two or three farms in this area. Long ago there had been a building by the Quay front, built with bricks from one of Londons bridges. I don't know if this was a warehouse/hospital or was lived in. Only the foundation remains.
