I am a Pomroy (maiden name now) and my family originally came from Holloway Road area. We are a big family - my grandad was Robert Edward Pomroy born 1912 and married Florence Isabel Whiteley.

In the 1901 census there is a John and Ann Pomroy living at 63 St Georges Cottages Leytonstone. There are numerous people of this surname living in the Ilford area.

You might try the Newhams local history site -
http://apps.newham.gov.uk/forums/localhistory/start.pl

It is a very small site, but can give the answers to these questions sometimes.
They are having a little technical trouble at the moment, and the site is very slow. But bear with it, you never know, someone might come back having known people of this name.

I am trying to find any pomroy's that may have lived in the east london area and may have moved away. The pomroy's were a big family in their day so where are the children and grandchildren now. If you are one of them please get in contact. I have found two already.
