Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Who lived in your house in 1901? (Frobisher, Falkland & Fairfax Roads)
The School House was occupied by James Quin, his wife Sarah and their 2 children, Ethel and Amy aged 13 and 10 - and one Florence Stockwell (their servant!). James was born in Huntingdonshire, Sarah in Cambridgeshire and the girls in Hertfordshire, as was Florence.
Unfortunately some of the entries are barely legible but I shall do my best to give you as much information as possible.
Right, whose first then?

Oh wow... brilliant! the first family moved out before 1911.... wonder why. Maybe moving up the social ladder with so many clerks and working children! Or they've married and don;t need such a big house anymore.

Yes, it seems in this case things did improve for this family; in the 1911 census they are living at 539 Green Lanes (with 7 rooms) and James is a self-employed tailor.

Oh wow.. from the assistant to the main tailor! Quite an improvement. Did the lodger follow them there as well?

Hi Angela,
I think this thread may no longer be active as the last entry seems to have been so long ago, but, following the excellent series on tv recently about the history of a house in Liverpool we were keen to see if we could find out anything about our house.
Any ideas for 58 Fairfax
Many thanks
Fred
