Family Grave of JEANNE VERSCHOOREN DURHAM (died 1939), HARRIET MILES DURHAM (died 1941), EDGAR SYDNEY DURHAM (died 1986) ► City of London Cemetery, Manor Park, Essex · Harriet’s name (Harriet Georgina) and age (87) are incorrect - Edgar Sydney Durham’s son, who had the grave refurbished in 2000 says: “it was with recollections sent to me by my Aunt Lilly [Lilian Jane Durham Foster Barclay] - I would not have thought she would have got her Mother’s name wrong - and the age given on her Death Certificate that I got Monumental Masons to refurbish the grave in the year 2000, to include her name and to add that of my Father, Edgar. If you are able to read the inscription you will see that my Father is not buried there, he was in fact cremated and his ashes scattered in Surrey. At the time of Harriet’s death in 1941 probably only five of her surviving children attended her funeral - money was short, and it was agreed among the [children] that she should be buried in my Mother’s grave, although in real life my Mother disliked her for some reason. Money was so short that not one of the five volunteered to add her name to the monument, and it was left to me to do so 59 years later! The grave will revert to City of London ownership in 2039 …” © 2013 The Durhams of Essex-Bexhill · although Harriet’s Death Certificate only gives the name as simple “Harriet Durham”, the misunderstanding might have arisen because Lilian Jane was confusing her Mother’s name with that of her Sister, Henrietta Georgina - Lilian Jane reported the death, but she got her Mother’s age wrong, simply because she might not have known exactly how old her Mother was, as often happens in these cases

Mortimer Road, Hackney, Middx · no. 23 not found, but these are the low odd numbers			160 Grange Road, West Ham, Essex · no. 165 not found – perhaps the houses were destroyed during the war -there are apparently blocks of flats there now, but presumably the house looked like this			“Mahir” shop, 230 Green Street, West Ham, Essex · nos. 232-4, to the left, seem to have been occupied by a bus garage 1906-60, and then by an Asian shopping centre that was never built - presumably the house looked like this · 234 Green Street was Edgar Sydney’s home address in the 1901 census – his son says “My Aunt Lily [Lilian Jane Durham] told us she was born in Green Street, Upton Park, West Ham, opposite Boleyn Castle in 1901” - Boleyn Castle has since been demolished, and the site has been the home of the West Ham football ground since 1912 - the houses opposite are numbered about 550, so 234 Green Street is quite some distance away - unless Green Street has been radically renumbered, Boleyn Castle was some distance away from 234 Green Street - the family must have moved "up the road" between the census and Lilian Jane 's birth
