Find Ancestors

I got a picture showing the place Pierre Pastre was living around 1910, just follow the link:

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4315/logementpierrepastrelon.jpg

Pierre Pastre was living mostly in London during the years 1890 to 1939 and was cooker in some families and in the Junior United Service Club. I found im in Lyndhurst(New Forest) for the 1901 census, then at 6 Drayton Terrace, Kensington for the 1911 census.
I have 2 questions:
-I was not able to found "Drayton Terrace" in Kensington. I just found "Drayton Gardens Street". Someone knows what happen with this street?
-Do you recognise where is the house with the cross on the picture?

Thanks for your help.

The name in the bottom left-hand corner could be 'Nesbitt'.
George Nesbitt, photographer, had a studio in Kensington at this time.

Above the name maybe it's 'East Street'?

This article may help you. It talks a bit about Drayton Terrace (seems to refer to Old Brompton Road in relation to - see also below link - but not sure if they are now one and the same

says he ia a cook

Teresa

Thanks a lot for all of you.
Some informations: Pierre Pastre was born 25/1/1864 in Alet-les-Bains in the south France and he died the same place 7/8/1940. He came there in holidays in summer 1939 and was not allowed to come back England because the war. So he died separate from his wife who was living in London. Sorry "Ann of Green Gables", it's not the same one who was born in 1714, but it's funny.

For the picture: I agree with "BeverleyW", it can be G.Nesbitt, but where. I had a look on "East street" on the list give by "Glitter Baby". After different research and the help of Google Street(a street turning left with a cimetery upper on the left), but nothing check. As "Keeley1973" said I had a look on Old Brompton road(a part was Drayton terrace in this time) but nothing too.

For Pierre Pastre: How "Teresa" found he did a travel to the USA in 1902-1903, I have some post cards as souvenir, and now I know the dates exactely.

He married(for the third time!) an other French resident Marie Catherine Henry in Fulham the 27/4/1829(index Fulham 1a 795). I am waiting a certificate from GRO. This woman was on the same house at the 1911 Census.
This one died between October and December 1964(index Kensington 5C 1096), but GRO tell me "There is no trace of the above mentioned person at the reference you quoted." I don't know what to do because the Index list is perfectely clear and clean.
Can you help me with this woman ?

Pierre Pastre had with his first wife, a daughter Jeanne born 26/2/1893 in London. I found nothing about her in the Index list, so I presume she was declare at the French consulat. Do you think it's something to found in the English Archive about her ? I don't know many things about the wife, her name was Elise Flue(not sure with the "F")

Chris :)

for "Ann of Green Gables": Marie Catherine Henry was French and work in Kensington in 1901 and 1911 in different houses. She was born around 1878. You say your third Marie Henry can be the same as the second one. It's not possible because the second was born 1855 and the third was 26 years old in 1913.
for "Chris Ho :)": I knew they divorce, but I didn't know if it was in France or England. I ask National Archives for a copy. Thanks.
Can you tell me how it's possible to get index for a death, and GRO is not able to found the certificate ?(see my post from 15/7 17h32)

Thanks "Chris Ho :)". It's exactelly the index I found in BMD and transfer to GRO. They answer:
"Dear Jean Ruffie
Death Certificate: Marie Henry 1964 Dec 5C 1096

I don't know what to do.

For the oicture, I found ,using Google Street, where it is: East street in Blandford with St Peter & St Paul Church on the left. Thanks "BeverleyW" for Nesbitt. He was working in the area around Bournemouth and Pierre Pastre has friends in this town and in Blandford. I found a web site http://www.oldstratforduponavon.com/blandford.html
with post-cards about Blandford looking as mine.

Jean, the problem seems to be that you're trying to order the death certificate in her maiden name of Henry. As you can see, the death was registered in her married name of Pastre, which is the name you need to quote.

You can't have copied it exactly, you must have changed the Pastre to Henry!

MarieCeleste
You are right, and I saw that two hours ago, so I did a new demand to GRO.
Thanks a lot
