Rowe family of Woodbine Grove, Enfield

I contacted Enfield Council, to find out when the Rowe family were living at 6 Woodbine Grove, Enfield.

Graham Dalling, a local history officer, very kindly informed me of the following:

'The address is given variously as Elm Cottage, Woodbine Grove or no. 6, Woodbine Grove. According to Kelly's Enfield Directories (1928/9/30) the householder was Alfred Henry Rowe. Electoral registers for the same years list Alfred Henry Rowe and Alice Rowe at this address.

Woodbine Grove is part of the Birkbeck Estate, developed from the late eighteen-seventies onwards. The inhabitants were mainly resepectable working class.'

Apparently, according to a relative, there used to be a pear tree in the garden with a seat under it.
