I have alot of information on this gentleman who was my Great Great Grandfather but he seemed to have a lot of jobs in the printing industry and I cannot trace his place of work. In 1881 he had a printing business in Bermondsey and employed 3 men and 3 boys. In 1889 he was a newspaper publisher living in Westcombe Park London but I do not know which newspaper he published. In 1904 I have a reference to 5 Marble Arch which I believe was his work address as his home address was 139 Croydon Road in Anerly. Does anyone know if this was a newspaper office at all? Many thanks!
