Event Note
Ivor Fielder says it was 19, Glocuester Gardens, but both the photo of May at number 22's gate and the Williams girls photo from Valerie suggest it was 22. Jimmy bought more than one of these houses. Perhaps they moved between them. Fielder, J H, is in the 1949 phone book at 22, Gloucester Gardens: Barnet 7035. However, he's not in any earlier phone books. He continues in the phone books at the same address and number all the way to 1962. |

Narrative
Jimmy's father and grandfather were cobblers. Jimmy's father was an alcoholic [so both IF's grandfathers were alcoholics!] Jimmy was likely born in Kingsland Road, Shoreditch.
Jimmy was a soloist in the choir at Westminster Abbey when young. He had a fine singing voice all his life.
Jimmy was apprenticed as a scientific instrument maker. He was assigned in WWI to work with the Barnes Stroud [?] company on rangefinders. He then went to work for Marconi on X-Ray equipment. IF says Jimmy actually worked with Gugliemo Marconi himself. [Could this be right? GM seems to have been in Italy at this time.] Later, he began to appreciate the dangers as workers were damaging their hands with X rays. He determined to leave. On descending the steps at lunchtime, he met someone coming up who wanted to see him. "It's no use, this is my last day'" Jimmy told him. Then they went to lunch and by the end of the meal Jimmy was a founding partner in the British Engraving and Nameplate Company, where he remained until retiring.
