I am trying to find out if possible where my Grandfather worked, he was born in 1891 and was employed according to Marriage Death cert and census as a Platum Reel Hand, a Printers helper, or printers assistant. He was born and lived his entire life in Tottenham, Finsbury, Edmonton Middlesex area, Wife Rosalia Bagnall nee smith, children Leonard Percy Bagnall (born Andrews) Rosalia, Kate E, Edith Frances, Henry Cornelius, and James William, He worked for a newspaper possibly the times but not certain of that I do know that he lived at 27 Spencer rd at birth 218 Risley Ave at death and 111 Gospatrick Road, 33 Carlingford Road with his wife & children, I do have all the birth & death records for his entire family and am simply attempting to get his work history from whomever he was employed by if possible. I have done this with other relatives and have had amazing results, i.e. I have his Grandfathers record of employment with the Met Police, Thank you for your assistance, if it was not for this site I would not have a lot of information, cheers |

I don't know if it's relevant, but in 1911 there were 3 men living in the same road with similar occupations - 2 printer compositors and one 'Printing Machine Manager Printing Works'. People more often worked near to their workplace back then. I wonder if by chance there might have been just one printing works nearby? And if so maybe he worked there rather than on a newspaper? Just a thought! |

Some of my friends now live in a converted print works near the Regents Canal in part of Hoxton, on the map not that far from the address at Fellows Street on the census mentioned by Glitter Baby |

yes I know he lived in Shoreditch, sorry but I live in Canada so do not know all the areas in London, my electricity was out for a while and just came back on, I do watch the threads in real time. My quest is simply to find his employer and then to make enquiries re his employment, a stretch I am sure, only a mention from a relative indicated that he was employed by a big newspaper in London but that was back in the 60,s and may have no relevance. A platum hand would indicate a large machine, not one you would find in a small shop, so my thinking runs toward a large printing business. I am aware that in those days people did not live to far from where they worked, but again I am at a disadvantage re where I live, perhaps someone from the local area holds the clue that I need. |

I am aware that he did well financially, that is quite evident in photographs prior to his death whether that helps to identify his employer I am not sure. |

Pete - not that it's anything to do with your guy, but did you know the process for making newsprint from wood pulp was invented by a Canadian? |
