Quinn's Square / Buildings Bethnal Green

[Heather Potter]

Hi,
Does anyone have information on Quinn's Square, I have traced my Grand parents and Great Grand parents to living there in the 1880s
I am sure my grand father was involved in the Rent Strike of 1938
If any else also has ansestors that lived there, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you

Hi Heather,

Have you seen this pamphlet?

It looks like it was a very solid action by the tenants, so, if your grandfather was there, he probably was involved. Have you looked for him on the FMP 1939 register?

[Heather Potter]

Thankyou very much.

My grand father James Windsor
Born 11/02/1883
He was living at 31 Palm street in 1933, then I loose track of him until 1955 when he dies in an old peoples home in Hendon.
He was a very strong Socialist and was involved in many demonstrations and marches.
If you can help I would be really grateful
Thank you

Hi Heather

I’ve just located my maternal-grandfather’s birth certificate which gives his place of birth as 211 Quinn’s Square, Berhnal Green.
Unfortunately, I know very little about his early life.

Regards

Mike
