SRS 21: Marriage Register 1912 – 1915
By this period, which stretches into the first year of WWI, we start to see members of Sandys Row living as far away as Shepherds Bush and Holland Park although the majority are still in the Spitalfields area. It is notable how many of the Dutch names and traditional trades, particularly cigar making, are starting to disappear in this register. The community are branching out and working in all manner of different jobs across the city including: wood carvers, electricians, milliners, pastry cooks, upholsters and cardboard box makers although the majority are still working locally in the tailoring, cabinet making and fur trades. The diversity of trades of the younger men compared to their father’s is very apparent, most of the father’s are still working in the cigar making, tailoring or diamond polishing trades.
