Hi this a bit of an obscure one but would anyone have any idea whether this is a shop or market stall?
The man in the photo is my great grandmothers second husband Eric Leonard Rolfe. He married Isabella Ward after my great grandfather died in 1946 - (they married in 1947) and I don't know a lot about Eric or Basil as he was known as. They didn't have any children so I kind of wanted to find out what I could as no one else will if that makes sense?
I know his father was Harry Rolfe and he was a fruiterier according to Eric's marriage certificate. I kow the family was originally from Henley and I know that Eric and Isabella lived in Stepney and finally Ilford in Essex. Probably very little chance of placing the stall/shop but any help whatsoever would be great as always.
One last fact I came across was on Eric's death certificate where it says he was a shop manager under the occupation section as well as saying of 7 Warwick Gardens, Ilford, Essex - would that have been a home address or a work address?
Sorry to ramble on a bit and here is the photo - apologies for the quality but I have done a seperate thread in the photo section to see if anyone can help
