I am completely foxed by MYRTLE GROVE. The 1911 census shows 1 - 9 (the former MYRTLE TERRACE), then GROVE HOUSE, KENT HOUSE and YORK HOUSE and I am unable to identify where these were.... ...Could it be that these houses were not part of Paxton Park? Any views would be welcome In the 1861 Census ...

Many thanks for the above information on Avard's Lane, No.2 and Sydenham Hill.

The Carpenter was called John Avard, from ...

He replied that he didn't want anything from me. I said, "Yes , you do. You want my bank details and to sign me up for a monthly direct ...

No one is suggesting "North Penge" then?

To make the question a little broader (and then maybe Noelene might then find an answer) are there any published books of Memorial Inscriptions for local cemeteries? Or churchyards and war memorials? Possibly published by a local Family History Society or maybe privately by individuals? Does ...

Sorry, I've been on holiday. I would like to see the photos. Can't you post them here? The two families must have known each other well.
