The people that owned the shop were Herbert Walter Joseph Peace & His wife
Nellie Hamilton Peace (nee Aris).
They had 4 children: William, Minnie, Mary & Carmen (she died when she was 27
days old). It would be great to hear from anyone connected to the family, but
would also like to hear from anyone who can remember the shop.
They also owned other property's in the area Summer Lane & Potters Hill & Cape Hill. The shop was owned by my husbands great great grandfather, Herbert Walter Peace, but his son, Herbert Walter Joseph Peace and His wife Nellie Hamilton Peace (nee Aris) ran the shop. I think that they owned the shop from about 1905 - up to the 1950's
Herbert Walter Joseph & his wife Amelia Peace (nee Mills) lived and owned a business at 221 Summer Lane, this is where they lived in 1881 (info from census). They had two servants

221 Summer lane (1901 Census)
Herbert Walter Peace & Amelia Peace from about 1903 (info from Kelly's
Directory) owned 14 & 23 Potters Hill (I think 14 was their home and 23 was
their business) owned Potters Hill until the 1950's I think
Herbert Walter Peace - died 12/05/1909
Amelia Peace - died 30/03/1926
Business's were left to sons Herbert Walter Joseph Peace & William Henry George
Peace.
