Families that lived just south of the Thames such as Deptford and Lewisham but came from the East End are covered by the East London Page.

Thomas EASTERBROOK and Ann Sophia ELLIOT of Charlton and Lewisham

Thomas EASTERBROOK was married in 1841 in Clerkenwell Parish Church to Ann Sophia ELLIOT, Thomas was about 21 and Ann only about 16. They lived in Clerkenwell until the late 1840s, then to Salisbury Street, St Pancras until the early 1850s, after which they moved to 20 Charlotte Street, Charlton (the street no longer exists). Ten years' later they moved to 1 Osborn Terrace, Eltham (Lewisham). This area was to be the home for the family for the next 120 years as many of their descendants lived in the area, often within a few streets of Osborn Terrace. Both Osborn Terrace and Eagle Terrace were home to several generations.

Thomas's occupation was whitesmith. The trade was a family one at this time with most of Thomas's sons giving their occupation as whitesmith at at least some point during their life.

Thomas John EASTERBROOK and Charlotte DIPLOCK

Thomas John EASTERBROOK married Charlotte Sarah DIPLOCK (born in Woolwich) in late 1862. By 1881 they were living at 39 Loam Pit Value, Lewisham, which seems to be the address of the family business: Thomas was a whitesmith like his father.

Note: I have been unable to trace Charlotte DIPLOCK's family, and John Henry DIPLOCK's only to his father John, born 1857 In Greenwich, so am unable to establish any relationship, or lack of, between them.

Albert David died during the Great War. He is honoured on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial.

Daughter Annie had an illigitimate son Bertie born in the Lewisham workhouse. Annie and Bertie are recorded living with Annie's father Thomas in the 1881 census. Annie emigrated to Australia as an assisted migrant on the "Florida" in 1885 at age 23. There is no mention of Bertie on that journey. She married Vernon BRANWHITE in 1894 and there is records for a Bertram BRANWHITE that may be Annie's son.

Elias William EASTERBROOK of Lewisham

Elias William had two distinct families, married first to Jane BARNARD, then after her death he married Margaret McGOWAN.

Elias William EASTERBROOK and Jane BARNARD

Elias William EASTERBROOK's first marriage was to Jane BARNARD, sister of William Barnard who married Elias's sister Ellen Elizabeth. In earlier records he was a whitesmith, but later a self employed Gas Fitter in business with his two sons.

Jane was ill before her death. In 1901 she is recorded both in the family home recorded as "Imbecile" and also in the London County Asylum. She died the following year.

The photo is believed to be Edith CATTLEY, the wife of William Walter.

After Jane died, Elias William married Margaret McGOWAN, a roman catholic, and had a son, Francis, and two sets of twin girls, Margaret Mary and Mary Elizabeth (b1906) and Dorothy Mary and Violet Mary (b1910).

Francis married Anastasia MORRISON from county Cork Ireland and continued the Roman Catholic tradition. Margaret Mary could not have children due to a childhood illness, but with her second husband Bertie CARTER they adopted Dorothy Mary's illigitimate son. Mary Elizabeth married a divorcee, Harry Rossiter COPPINGER many years her senior.
