PECKHAM SOCIETY NEWS INDEX OF LETTERS (without addresses, phone numbers or emails included ) (to Issue 158 2019) Season/ Title/Author/Subject all entered in Alphabetical Order Year Month Issue Page INDEX TO LETTERS IN PECKHAM SOCIETY BULLETINS, NEWSLETTERS, AND PECKHAM SOCIETY NEWS Notes: Complete up to and including number 158, Autumn 2019 PLEASE READ THESE NOTES FIRST THEY WILL HELP YOU SEARCH MORE EFFECTIVELY 1) Only people’s names appear in the first column (and in the case of married women, I have cross referenced their maiden names). I have deleted all email addresses, phone numbers and addresses of all letter writers for reasons of privacy. 2) If Jane Smith (née Jones) writes a letter which include subjects such as the Surrey Canal, Rye Lane, and Waverley School, it will be entered under Smith, Jane (where it will include her contact details, where given), and also under her maiden name, and then under Surrey Canal, Rye Lane and Waverley School, with her name as author in the second column. Should I have inadvertently missed any such cross-references, please let the Editor know who will pass the information on to this Indexer! However, if someone writes a letter saying “I support the idea of Peckham Rye Railway Station being opened out”, I have not included it under Peckham Rye Railway Station because it’s not telling us anything other than the idea has been supported. 3) Where there is more than one letter written about the same subject this Indexer will list the authors in alphabetical order under the given subject. 4) Where an author has written more than one letter about the same subject this Indexer will list them in order of publication, earliest first. 6) If we have a company for example, Fred Upton Hatters, it shall be listed under FRED as FRED is the beginning of the name of the business. But if you are talking about the person, it shall be listed under UPTON, Fred. Sometimes both shall be mentioned, which means it shall be listed under the Business name (ie. Fred) as that may be more popular. Apologies for any discrepancies of cross-indexing rules. Index to Letters in Peckham Society Bulletins, Newsletters and Peckham Society News 2 Season/ Title/Author/Subject all entered in Alphabetical Order Year Month Issue Page 6) Many letters are written as a result of an article or articles previously published. So do read this Index in conjunction with the Index of Articles for full information about subjects or people you are researching. 7) If you are reading this on a monitor and you are searching for something specific, press the Control button and F as a quick search facility, but it’s much more enjoyable and satisfying trying to see if this Indexer has entered everything correctly and thoroughly and in correct order.... and of course you may find other things you were not expecting to find. 8) Someone writes a letter about memories of say “Honor Oak School”, and someone else writes about “Honor Oak Grammar”, and we know it has now gone through several incarnations. Similarly Peckham Park Road School, and Peckham Park Primary. I have, however, entered the names as they are remembered (and in alphabetical order) and not changed a thing. 9) Southwark Council’s various addresses. Should you want to follow something up with them, contact them at the current address, or on line. www.southwark.gov.uk 10) Finally, where I write, after someone’s name in the left column “..writes of many memories”, I have cross indexed every one. ********************************************* 108 Queen’s Road Mrs Murial Daly lived here before and after WW2 2014-15 Winter 139 12 5 Miles Club Irene Warden needs advice on this as she has found 2007 Spring 107 25 it on a medal Abbott, C C Name on back of a medal with 5 Miles Club, and Irene 2007 Spring 107 25 Warden needs answers.
