<p>Yes, that's definitely the one we're talking about - I know that for certain from other research. I haven't tried the council yet, but will.</p>

<p>Have you tried asking the local council ... <span class="aCOpRe"><span>museum.services@<em>h</em>aringey.gov.uk. I have found them quite helpful on local history queries. A man of that name is in the 1911 census at 8 Wollaston Road, Harringay, married, three chidren and a servant, so not on the bread line; and right part of the world</span></span></p>

<p>Ah Bethany..........totally unrelated. Some months ago Hugh mentioned your name to me as a possible contact for tracing relatives killed in WW1. I read your accounts of visit but I was unable to send my enquiry through to you. Thought maybe you had moved on or something.</p>
<p>But no problem if not interested, honestly.</p>

<p>Barrenger is an unusual name but I can tell you that many, many years ago, I knew a family called Barrenger that lived in Barrenger Road! </p>

<p>Hi again, Bethany. That map extract seems to show a different segment each time. Herewith link to the full map <a href="https://mapco.net/hornsey/hornsey.htm" target="_blank">https://mapco.net/hornsey/hornsey.htm</a></p>
<p>Click on the required rectangle, then scroll down for its detail. Scroll up again and repeat the action for another rectangle as required. Yes I know that sounds like I'm trying to explain to a simpleton but I'm just trying to help avoid someone else initially…</p>

<p>Sounds logical, as Barrenger Road didn't exist until after the 1925 borough map was published and Wm Barrenger was mayor 1925-27. Pure guess but maybe he got a road named after him perhaps for having assisted in purchase of adjacent Coldfall Wood , completed 1930?…</p>

<p>Also note that adjacent Everington and Steed Roads are presumably named after Wm Barrenger's two preceding mayors.</p>
