Hi Michael, - yes, I'm still reading the message boards periodically.The greengrocer or costermonger connection is interesting!Here's what I have learned so far about my Gurlings:
Alfred John Gurling b 1883 in Mile End, London.Occupation listed on 1901 census as Greengrocer but occupation on marriage cert is Carman.He married in 1919 to Emily Foster - second wife. Father is Alfred James also a greengrocer (must have died before 1901).Mother is Lucy and siblings included Lucy, George, James and Charlotte.I think I have found the parents on the 1881 census although Alfred James appears as James, b 1853 he is a Greengrocers foreman, married to Lucy b 1851.This is as far back as I have been able to go.
Any connections?
