The shop on the corner of Claremont Row was the James family grocers and dairy. The small girl looking towards Richmond Street school is Connie Dowd nee James, who was waiting for her brother to return from school. The school stretched along the whole of Claremont Row with the boys' school at the Richmond Street end and the girls' school at the Sussex Street end. When I interviewed her for the Hanover book she was amazed to see this picture, as she hadn't realised it had been taken.

In the 1891 census, my second great grandfather, William Smith, lived at 29 Claremont Row with his wife, Ada, and children and also his mother-in-law Sarah Muzzle (nee Pickard).

Maralyn, I am trying to find something about my ancesters. I have just received a birth certificate for my father, he was born on the 27th December 1899 at No. 22 Claremont Row, as he was killed on the 4th September 1940 I never saw my grandparents again. I am now fascinated in what I would have missed. My father was one of two children, Frederick Arthur Mariner Jnr. Pither, born in 1892, and my father Thomas Alfred Pither was born in 1899. If it is of any help to you I now know that my grandfather was Frederick Arthur Mariner Pither, and my grandmother was Emma Pither. I have this information as I have joined Genes Reunited.  (Amended on 6/8/2007)

I married my husband Allan Pither 50 years ago. His dad was Henry Pither. I think he had a brother who lived in Kemptown otherwise my Allan has no relatives other than our children that he knows of.
