  Fumblina Added: 27 Mar 2021 11:13 GMT | St Jude’s Church, Lancefield Street Saint Jude’s was constructed in 1878, while the parish was assigned in 1879 from the parish of Saint John, Kensal Green (P87/JNE2). The parish was united with the parishes of Saint Luke (P87/LUK1) and Saint Simon (P87/SIM) in 1952. The church was used as a chapel of ease for a few years, but in 1959 it was closed and later demolished. The church is visible on the 1900 map for the street on the right hand side above the junction with Mozart Street. Source: SAINT JUDE, KENSAL GREEN: LANCEFIELD STREET, WESTMINSTER | Londo Reply |
 Fumblina Added: 27 Mar 2021 11:08 GMT | Wedding at St Jude’s Church On 9th November 1884 Charles Selby and Johanna Hanlon got married in St Jude’s Church on Lancefield Street. They lived together close by at 103 Lancefield Street. Charles was a Lather, so worked in construction. He was only 21 but was already a widower. Johanna is not shown as having a profession but this is common in the records and elsewhere she is shown as being an Ironer or a Laundress. It is possible that she worked at the large laundry shown at the top of Lancefield Road on the 1900 map. She was also 21. She was not literate as her signature on the record is a cross. The ceremony was carried out by William Hugh Wood and was witnessed by Charles H Hudson and Caroline Hudson.

  Dave Fahey Added: 6 Jan 2021 02:40 GMT | Bombing of the Jack O Newberry My maternal grandfather, Archie Greatorex, was the licensee of the Earl of Warwick during the Second World War. My late mother Vera often told the story of the bombing of the Jack. The morning after the pub was bombed, the landlord’s son appeared at the Warwick with the pub’s till on an old pram; he asked my grandfather to pay the money into the bank for him. The poor soul was obviously in shock. The previous night, his parents had taken their baby down to the pub cellar to shelter from the air raids. The son, my mother never knew his name, opted to stay in his bedroom at the top of the building. He was the only survivor. I often wondered what became of him. Reply |

  Sean Farrell Added: 13 Feb 2024 10:09 GMT | Jack of Newbury His name was Thomas Mathews. He was not the son, but son-in-law (or possibly brother-in-law) to Catherine Bond, wife of the licensee, William. He was a taxi driver before and after the war and eventually took on a pub in Bedfordshire in the 1960’s. He died in 1984. It was information from his nephew that I heard about his escape from the rubble of the pub. Reply |
