East Family History Ramblings 2
You are invited to the second of a series of walks and lunches themed around Easts in various locations in South-East of England.
This walk will take place on Friday, 28th March 2025 around Shoreditch/ Hoxton where many Easts were involved in the furniture making industry. Census records reveal about 9000 entries for people with the surname East.
Meet Angela Waterfall (Research Manager) at Liverpool St. Station at 11a.m
The walk will include:
Charlotte Street, where many of the furniture showrooms were – this included E. Kahn and Co, where Edward Samuel East (1891-1965) worked as a furniture fitter.
Hoxton Square, where William James East (1830 -1901) lived
Shoreditch St. Leonards Church, where Matthew East ( 1802 -) married Charlotte Milford in 1823.
The Museum of the Home, a museum of furniture and the way the English furnished their homes. There is a café at the museum for lunch.
