|
When the cottages changed hands in 1909 following the death of Ellen Carter the conveyance noted that the cottages were formerly in the respective occupations of Charles Welch Ann Jackman James Irwin and Sophia Grove then of the Rev. F. Wilson and his under tenants and then were or late were in the respective occupations of Messrs Bonner, Weaver and McGee. The Rev. Francis Wilson was the proprietor of Woking College see above.
Blanche Lilian and Ellen, domestic servant daughters of John Bonner, labourer married William Michael Jones and Charles Henry Hill from Church Cottage in 1918 and 1921 respectively. PR
The premises appear to have been at one time called 12-14 Church Street after their position in Church Street but subsequently the cottages were referred to as Nos.1-3 Church Cottages. The details from the Woking News and Mail directories did not always state in which cottage individual occupants lived as distinct from owners as can be seen from the following entries from those directories.
