So far I have around a hundred examples of his work in about six titles published for the first time between 1810 and 1813. If anyone recognises his distinctive style elsewhere I’d be very interested to hear about it.

I would really love to hear from any of you and my email address is hedgewitch76@hotmail.com

Happy to share info and maybe we can find the next Daltrey back between us 🙂

I have done a Daltrey family tree back to provably James Daltrey, fanstick maker, a member of the Worshipful Company of Fanmakers. He was baptised at St Botolps Bishopsgate in 1714 and died in 1814 at Colebroke Row Hoxton leaving a complicated will. It seems fairly certain that he was descended from Huguenots, earlier Daltrey research from a Mrs H.M.Martin of Guernsey:
“William Dotry/Datry/Dolltrey/Daltrey/Dealtrey was made a Freeman of the City of London in 1686 as a silk dyer but the family’s place of origin in France is not yet known. They lived in Spitalfields, Shoreditch and various parishes in the City of London”. French derivatives were D’Altroy and Daulterie.
Please post your email address if you would like me to send my tree and Daltrey info.

My great grandmother was a Daltrey, I have also been doing my family tree, and am very interested in the hugenots connection, would be interested to hear more, Have already found out that the other side of the family, the Godfrey line, married an Agombar, which was a Hugenots connection. All lived in Bethnal Green.

But am so excited to hear from a Daltrey and about the fish and chip shop in Columbia Road. My husband, Ben Fether was also born in Durant Street in 1935, his mother was Florrie Daltrey, daughter of Arthur and Elizabeth Daltrey (your great grandparents) of the fish and chip shop. At the start of the blitz the Fethers together with the Daltrey siblings, May, Ivy and Bert all moved to the country leaving their brother Arthur at the fish shop. I have recently been working on the Daltrey family tree, trying to prove a Huguenot connection….
The history of how fish and chip shops started is interesting and some say that by the 1840’s
street sellers were selling fried fish, probably fishmonger’s left overs, in obscure alleys around the Inns of Court, the fringes of the East End in the Bishopsgate area and the Borough district. It is said that one Joseph Malin in Soho hit on the idea of combining fried fish with fried potatoes in the 1850’s.

In the unlikely event you pick this up and would like to make contact (which would be great) please could you leave a message via my daughter’s website: http://www.leefether.co.uk

That’s a good thing by the way. I can never have too much Sondheim in my head and while my enjoyment of Bart was dented by watching a production of ‘Blitz’ in Solihull my respect for his wider body of work remains!

Best wishes,
