The 1911 census does not show anyone named Fink living in Kingston who professes to be a greengrocer |

So this is what i know so far it was run george fink who was from new malden and lived in surbiton and then it passed down to his son ernest fink. george was born george fink but was also shown on docments as albert george fink he died in 1928 on the 5th of november. Birth year for him was 1869 and ernest was born 1893. |

Stephanie, you said your George died died 1928 so I'm a bit puzzled by this: |

This is the probate for the 1928 death: |

This is the marriage of Ernest Fink: |

They seem to be an unfortunate family for the men dying young: |

Looking at the enumerator's list for the 1911 census the address of 13 Alpha Road was listed as a shop. George Fink had also put on the form that he worked at home. It seems likely, therefore, that the family lived over the shop. |

The witnesses at Ernest's marriage seem to be his brother with his wife. William's surname got mangled on the transcription! It's Fink on the image. |

Have sent Stephanie a pm in case she wants images. |

This may be one of George and Annie's children who died: |
