We have recently found some old images of various members of the Chalk family who had some shops in Beckenham High Street. The shops were named Vernon. B. Chalk. If anyone is looking for the history of the Chalk family please get in touch.

Another rescued item is The Queen's 100 Birthday telegram to Robert Webb. If you are a relative get in touch. If you have anything related to Beckenham or the areas covered on this site that you would like to share-please get in touch with me.

We will try to help with as much as we can so do not hesitate to contact us. For those looking for more information on family history we advise you to contact Bromley Central Library 020 8460 9955.

    Hello,
    I am trying to get in touch with a Gosling family who may be living in Beckenham. Henry Gosling lived in Upper Norwood and died on 14th December 1979. The death was registered by his son Leslie who lived at 130 Churchfields Road, Beckenham. He sadly also died in 1994. I have not been able to trace a living relative so far. The reason is the Henry's sister, Edith Mary Ann Gosling was my grandmother so we are related. Henry also took over the Scott family bot & shoe repair business in the 1930's (I think). Thanks.

    Good morning. I'm trying to trace a house in Elmers End Road Beckenham that had a lord Haldon living in it in 1911. Family surname Palk. My grandmother and 3 of her sons also lived there as servants. I'm wondering if the Laurels is still standing and exactly whereabouts it is situated if it is. Thank you for all your help.

    Two ways. Ask the Bromley library to look up The Laurels in one of the Directories that contains the house names nearest to 1911. Use the 1911 census to find the properties next door. I used the 1916 Kelly's Directory that I have on my computer and I found a house called The Laurels on Elmers End Rd between Ancaster and Gwydor Rds. These are near the station and some of the older houses are still there.
    Hope this is of some use.

    My grandfather John (or James) Milliken was born in Pennsylvainia in the late 1800s. Any information about this Parish will be most welcomed.
