"of 147 Whitehorse Street (baker) by By Arthur W. Mountford"

Note on Husband: Frederick John HOADLY (1) - shared note

By the 1891 census, he is at 136 Plumstead Road, with his parents and stepsister, Margaret.

[RG12/537/22].

 

When Jack and Jessie married, F.W. wouldn't help them in any way. They went to the East End, and he got work with a bakery, and were very poor for a time, until they acquired a shop of their own, after much hard work and privation.

 

In WWI, many bakers were German, which caused problems for Jack at the time!

 

Post Office London Directory 1911:

Frederick John Hoadly, Baker, 78 Old Bethnal Green Road.

 

In Salmons Lane at beginning of WW1.

 

At 147 Whitehorse Street

Post Office London Directory 1921 Frederick John Hoadly, Baker, 147, Whitehorse Street, E1:

 

By 1933 the phone number is listed as EAST 3259.

 

The second premises at 156 Whitehorse Street is first listed in the Post Office London Directory for 1936.

 

The following year the phone number is listed in the Directory as STEPNEY GREEN 3259.

 

He was known as "Jack" - presumably to differentiate from his father.

 

During the Second World War, Jack and Jessie lived at Willow Cottage, Hammond Lane, Hatfield Broad Oak, Herts, where the photograph of Bob Hoadly returning from POW camp was taken, and published in the Daily Mirror.

 

[Letter from Jack to his brother Bill]

 

"June 1st 1945"

 

Eastwell

Station Lane

Hornchurch

 

Dear Bill and Daisy

Just to keep the link. How are you both.

I think its around about Bill's Birthday if so I wish him Many happy Returns. I trust he is well and busy.

All of us are keeping fit and the old shop in Stepney going stronger than ever thanks to my two boys.

Jack is an expert piper like his Grandfather and being the only shop among these ruins, we are always at it. I am going to take them both into the business.

Jessie keeps well, she has gone to Peckham today to see her Mother, now 89, and quite well.

Bob's wife is going to have a baby any moment now, and Jack's wife also later on, this will make twelve Grand Children.

I trust I am not counting my chickens yet.

Young Frank Harwood has got married again.

We never hear any thing of Len or Dorrie now.

Well dear Daisy and Will this is enough swank about ourselves.

Please write and let us know if you are all O.K.

Jessie sends her best love to you Daisy, she said she would like to see you again.

Love to every body.

Jack"

Note on Husband: Frederick John HOADLY (2)

Note by Graham Hoadly:

 

I remember my Grandfather very well indeed.

 

He was rather old by the time I knew him, and rarely ever left his home in Eastwell, Station Lane Hornchurch.

 

Eastwell was a large detached house built I would imagine in the early 20th century when Hornchurch was still really a village. My grandparents lived in the ground floor of the house - and "Auntie" Nina Clarke lived upstairs. She wasn't an aunt at all, but a lovely, kind spinster lady who was the sitting tenant upstairs. She had a seperate entrance to her bit of the house, which in itself fascinated me. I very occasionally was invited up there to play with her - and had some fun times. Nina was such a good soul who used to attend St Andrews in Hornchurch. She really almost single-handedly looked after my Grandfather in his latter years - and alas (to their shame) got little thanks from some family members. She was treated quite shabbily.

Downstairs was a small entrance lobby, with stairs up to Nina's front door. There was another door from the lobby, which led to my Grandparents' part of the house. In their hall was a hat and coat stand with many walking sticks - both my Grandparents used them occasionally. From the hall were three rooms - the living room directly opposite the front door, the kitchen to the right next to that, and next to that was their bedroom.

Off the kitchen was a walk-in pantry, and another door led to the bathroom. You went through the bathroom to get to the back door which led into the garden. To the right of the backdoor was the toilet.

 

Grandpa was a large rotund man who walked with a stick - sometimes two. he was balding with whispy white hair, and wore glasses. He had bad arthritis, and often complained of it - sometimes he wore a copper bracelet to ward off rheumatism.

 

Most often he was found sitting in the living room at the table which was covered with a green chenille cloth.

 

More often than not he would sport a long white baker's apron.

He was very fond of cats and in my day had a black one called (politically incorrectly I fear!) Nigger. My father tells me that this cat was one of a line of black cats Grandpa had, unimaginatively with the same name! Tony Blair would NOT have approved ...

 

He had a keen sense of humour and loved to tell off colour jokes at which he laughed uproariously himself. As a child, of course I adored them. Two of my favourites spring to mind:

 

Mary had a little lamb

It was her joy and pride

It stuck it's nose up Mary's clothes -

Took one sniff and died ...!

 

A father has three sons - two who have been well behaved, and one who has been naughty.

At Christmas time he put half a crown in the first two boys' stockings, and a ball of dung in the third.

 

When questioned having opened their Christmas stockings, the first boy said:

"Father Christmas has been very good to me - he put half a crown in my stocking!"

The second boy said "And Father Christmas has been very good to me too - he put half a crown in my stocking!"

The third boy said:

And Father Christmas has been very good to me - he gave me a horse, but it shit in my stocking and ran away!"

 

I remember another crude tale of Grandpa's about a night baker who had been sick in the vat of dough, and a customer who came to the shop a few days later , and when offered an ordinary loaf said:

"Oh, not that sort - I'd like one of those really tasty ones you sold the other day"!!!

 

Grandma, who always sat opposite Grandpa at the table, in a Lloyd Loom chair supported by lots of cushions, always used to laugh heartily at these jokes too - although she must have heard them a hundred times - she used to flap her hand whilst laughing and say:

"Oooh! You dirty old bugger!"

 

I seem to recall he liked to burp too - which elicited the same response from Grandma!

 

This was Grandpa's sense of humour - it made me hoot as a child, and I'm afraid, it still rather tickles my fancy! Just call me unsophisticated!

 

Mind you, Grandpa also had a great tendency towards self pity.

Very often he'd say "Ooooh, I can't see ... I can't hear ... I can't walk .... I'm done for!"

 

He often lamented the lack of visitors - although Dad went most nights. If for some reason he didn't go, it was a cue for extra moaning and self-pity on Grandpa's part.

"Nobody cares when you're old ... you'd have thought he'd have given me a ring-up ...!"

 

My mother, disliked Grandpa intensely (she used to say he retired at forty and never did a stroke of work thereafter, and continued to smart as she claimed Grandpa wouldn't let Dad have a day off to go to her father's funeral). I suspect she though he was a bit "common" socially at any rate - her family inclined to the snobbish!

 

He enjoyed the TV - particularly the Black and White Minstrels and The Good Old Days. When he was tired of it he would say:

"Wind it orf!"

 

He would usually pronounce "off" as "orf" in a London sort of way - not, I hasten to add, like the Queen!

 

My father used to take the takings from the Stepney shop to Grandpa's every night, and Grandpa would take the cloth money bags and count the notes. he had a rubber finger stall with which to do this and he dipped that regularly in a sponge pad soaked in water.

 

There seemed to be a bit of a routine on these evenings. He would say to Dad

 

"Like a drink, Bob?"

 

Dad would usually reply

 

"Bit early for me, Dad"

 

But Grandpa and Grandma would have a glass of gin and tonic I think - or something with soda - he used to have all the bottles and a soda siphon on the big old dresser that was behind him. There was also an interestingly-shaped bottle of Hooper Struve (he pronounced it "oober Stroove") orange squash - that was the only place I ever saw that brand (I think he had his booze delivered). He would offer some to me which I usually happily accepted.

 

They usually had their supper at that time too - Ritz crackers, a piece of cheese and a tomato each.

 

He often smoked a pipe - either Old Holborn tobacco or mostly Gold Block.

 

He loved to reminisce and spoke often of his childhood, his adventures with his pal Dickie Channa, his visits to the Music Hall.

 

He spoke of Marie Lloyd who he claimed used to come into his father's shop in Peckham. He recalled seeing her as Dick Whittington at the Crown Theatre Peckham (this was 1898) and used to chuckle at her parting line as she boarded the ship for Morocco:

"When you heard I was off to Morocco, I knew you'd be all jeers!"

 

He did have a tendency to tell tall stories - like the one about him being three rows behind Queen Victoria at her Diamond Jubilee!

 

Often he could be found in the kitchen sitting with his apron peeling potatoes or something of the soet - sometimes enjoying a cup of tea - my sisters remember him warming his false teeth in his tea - although I don't recall it myself!

 

In those days they invariably went to bed for a nap in the afternoons.

 

I would often go over to play there at Eastwell - they had an enormous garden, beautifully kept by their gardener, old Joe - who didn't look a lot younger than Grandpa!

The first section was a great lawn,and flower beds and shrubs and rose pergolas. then behind that was a large vegetable garden. They grew runner beans and potatoes, also goosberries and strawberries - I remember picking those. And guzzling the strawberries!

 

On sunny summer days, Grandpa and Grandma would sit out in the garden at a folding card table, with a sunshade. He would wear his ubiquitous white apron and a slightly comical sun hat - a panama, and peel those potatoes.

 

There was an old hen house there too, and most fascinating of all, an air-raid shelter, which was kept locked, so i never got to go down inside it - but I used to peer longingly through the small opening in the heavy iron door, and could just make out rusting delapidated bunk beds. I would have loved to have played in there!

 

The large tool shed in the middle of the garden served ideally for playing "houses".

 

When Grandpa died, my uncle Jack and his wife May went to live there. I never visited it again after Grandpa's death. When Uncle Jack died, the house was sold by Jack's daughters, and pulled down to make way for a close of houses that now are to be found on the site - so no house, and no wonderful garden any more - just memories. I don't think there is even a photo of the house that I know of - although several were taken in the garden over the years.

 

I remember going to the house after my Grandma's funeral, with many family members, and being a bit shocked to see Grandpa get drunk and jolly. It was the only time I ever heard him use the "f" word ...

 

I don't have a memory of him in the four years between Grandma's death and his own, but of course I was at college in Winchester during that period. I recall I was rehearsing "Macbeth" at the Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch when I heard of his death.

 

I was fond of him,

Note on Wife: Frances Jessie JAQUES (1) - shared note

Known as Jessie.

 

In 1891, Charles, Lucy and their four children were living at 14 Cossall Street.

[RG12/475/48]

 

Worked at F.W. Hoadly's Bakery in Peckham, where she presumably met Jack Hoadly.

 

[Letter from Jessie to Elsie Hoadly dated 29/01/ 28]

Jan 2 - 28

 

Dear Elsie

I was ever so pleased to get Len's letter and to hear you and Baby were getting on nicely.

I was thinking about you on Christmas Day wondering if anything was happening.

You must really excuse me not writing before, I have been short handed the girl in the house didn't turn up and Jack has had to go down the bakehouse the cook has a poisoned hand.

As soon as the weather is a little better I will come and see you, I feel quite anxious to see the wee Babe and you.

Len seems quite proud being a Daddy I guess.

Jack and I are going to try and come over one evening this week.

The girls send there [sic] love and Bobbie wants to know what the Baby's name is, i told him Uncle Len bought it for a Christmas Present for you.

Best Love From

Jack and Jessie.

 

P.S.Dear Elsie be very carefull and don't catch cold, this weather is really awfull

Jessie"

Note on Wife: Frances Jessie JAQUES (2)

Note by Graham Hoadly:

 

I loved Grandma Hoadly. She was a small woman with fine white hair which in my day I remember she wore up in a chignon. Rather earlier when I was very young I think she had a perm. When I knew her she wore those rather unattractive winged spectacles that were fashionable in the 1960s - the sort you see in the cartoons of "The Far Side"! She was always warm and welcoming.

 

Although she was born in Peckham, and was definitely a Londoner and had an slightly earthy side to her, she was also a woman of refinement and dignity with a soft voice and a merry chortle. She used the Victorian constructions of speech of her generation, which you just don't hear any more in these days of deliberately sloppy imprecise speech and unattractive estuary accents. She would describe a lady's outfit as a "costume" for instance.

 

I believe she was long-suffering listening to my Grandpa's innumerable reminiscences and stories all of which I am sure she had heard umpteen times before. Often as he launched into one she would glaze over until he'd finished, then she'd either laugh or comment as the occasion demanded.

 

Sometimes I would stay for tea - Grandma would tuck a loaf under her arm, butter the cut end, then cut the slice off. Then put jam on it.

"Piece more?" she would ask.

In the dresser in that kitchen there were assorted tea cups - my favourite was a bone china one with fluted sides. I always hoped to get that one.

 

I remember her making marmalade, (but don't remember eating it!)

 

She would often ask me to pop to the shops for her - usually the ones just before Hornchurch station. It might be to Jack Burgess's for greengrocery, or often to get some ham off the bone from Edith Ski's the delicatessen.

 

Somethimes when I came back she would thank me and say:

 

"An ounce of help is worth a pound of pity".

 

I remember her coming over to our house in Hornchurch one day - a very rare occasion, and my mother was on her hands and knees polishing the lino in the hall:

Grandma greeted Mum with:

"Ooh, Gwyn! haven't you got a big arse!"

Needless to say, Mother was NOT amused....

I doubt she felt any better when having proffered Grandma a cup of tea, Grandma proceeded to pour it into the saucer and drink it from there! I was, of course, fascinated.

 

When I grew older and taller than her I recall her commenting and saying:

 

"When you get old you shrivel up!"

 

She used to laugh at my long wavy hair - the fashion in my teens

 

"Ooh! You've got a quiff!"

 

Dad says that one of her favourite songs was "Alice Blue Gown" from the musical comedy "Irene" which apparently she used to sing - but I never heard her do it.

 

In her final years she got very frail, and I think my sister Marion used to do a lot for her.

 

Her death upset me - I remember it was at Christmas time, and I was then in the St George's Church choir at Hornchurch. We had a Carol Service there, and I recall singing "Infant Holy" with tears, embarrasingly, running down my cheeks.

 

Like most Grandmas she had beautiful soft delicate skin - I can still remember kissing her cheek - and that she smelled delicate and lovely.
