Sheridan Stamper is listed from c1910 to 1918 as an umbrella maker. The listing refers you to Evans, Stamper & Co – umbrella manufacturers at 11 Falcon Ave, EC, Tel 5767 Central (Falcon Ave is in Aldersgate) along with four other business at that address – look up Falcon Ave in the street index.

Could you give me details of how to purchase a copy of the book once it’s published? Thanks.

The relative was Sheridan Knowles Stamper.

I’ve tried to find information with no luck —– and ideas where I could look?

Thanks
Mike
