1920 Street Directory Acton
RE: Packington Road
Packington Road is still there, or parts of it are! It is between
Stanley Road and Palmerston Road, which is close to South Acton railway
station. The street directory for 1920 shows the occupier
as Martha Elizabeth Dagg, Grocer, the property was clearly
a shop on the corner of Braemar Road. South Acton was an area of
close packed terraced houses and many laundries.
About half of the houses in Packington Road appear to have been laundries.
The whole area was cleared in the 1960s and replaced with blocks of flats.
Nothing exists today of the area as it was in 1916. It might not appear on
internet maps as it does not have any houses today.
The page below has a little bit about the area:

I hope this helps. We would be interested in hearing
any more you might have about Acton.

He was obviously on a film set because I have a picture of him dressed up as a centurian (above left) presumably he was doubling up as an extra! I have done some research and the 1945 J Arthur Rank British film production Ceasar and Cleopatra seems to be a strong candidate for the film being shot.

BIOGRAPHY: William James DAGG was born on 24 Jul 1902 in Chiswick, London Middlesex, at 102 Duke Road. I was told by my mother Irene Pearce that he ran away to sea when his father died because he "couldn't stand being in a house full of women" He was certainly serving aboard the "Emma" on the 9 March 1918 when she entered the French port of Callais. And the General Register and Record Office of Shipping and Seamen certified that "W Dagg who at the time of his engagement on the first vessel named below gave the following personal particulars- age 15, nationality or birthplace London, appears by the Records in this Office to have served on board the undermentioned Vessels in the Capacities and during the periods herein Stated, viz:-

Rachel Hinton 1 was born 2 on 27 Jul 1905. She died 3 in 1987 in South Glamorgan. She married 4 William James Dagg on 13 Jun 1925 in Merthyr Tidville Register Office.
daughter of Thomas Hinton - Colliery Fireman
They had the following children:
M i Neil Hinton Dagg was born on 7 Oct 1925. M ii William Thomas Dagg was born on 1 Feb 1927.
Henry William Pearce [Parents] [scrapbook] "Harry" 1 was born 2, 3, 4, 5 on 6 Aug 1880 in Spaxton Somerset - 1 Pightley Cottage, Enmore, Somerset. He died 6, 7 in 1954 in Hendon District Hospital, Hendon, Middx. He married 8, 9, 10 Florence Emily May Harrington on 18 Aug 1904 in All Saints Church Prittlewell Rochford District Essex. Henry was counted in a census 11 in 1881 in Pitsely (Pightley) Cottage, Enmore Somerset. He resided 12 in Apr 1881 in 1 Pightley Cottage, Enmore, Somerset. He resided 13 in Apr 1891 in Gib Hill Cottage, Spaxton, Somerset. He resided 14 in Apr 1901 in Minworth Green, Cudwort Hamlet, Minworth, Warwickshire. He was employed as land drainer in Apr 1901 in Warwickshire. He resided 15 in 1904 in 28 Essex Street. He was counted in a census in 1911 in 3 HAMBURG TERRACE LAMBERT ST SOUTHEND ON SEA. He was employed 16 as baker in Apr 1911. He was employed as in Private S4/093510 (Baker Journeyman) A.S.C. He resided 17 in Apr 1911 in 3 Hamburgh Terrace, Lambert Street, Southend. He was employed 18, 19 as Private S4/093510 (Baker Journeyman) A.S.C in 1915/1918 in Served in Egypt. He resided in 1954 in 29 Wallcote Ave, Cricklewood, London NW2.
Also known as Henry Blackmore, son of William Webber Pearse and Esther Blackmore, nee Pennock, was born on 6 Aug 1880 in 1 Pightley Cottage, Enmore, Somerset. His family name (in Somerset) was Harry. Later in life, he reverted back to calling himself Pearce (but with a 'c' instead of an 's' - that would have irritated brother John intensely as he was very protective about his 's' in Pearse!) In addition, by the time of his marriage in 1904, Henry had also managed to gain a middle name not on his birth certificate - William, presumably in memory of his father. Quiet spoken, he was very similar in character to his step-brother John. Interesting to note, in most photos they are both holding cigarettes. Cousins Joan and George recall coming up to town to see him after the 2nd World War and being shown round the sights of London. The highlight of the day being afternoon tea at Lyons corner house.
Information from Andrew BealeResidences: • In Apr 1881 Henry (Pearse) lived in 1 Pightley Cottage, Enmore, Somerset (photo); • In Apr 1891 Henry (Pearse) lived in Gib Hill Cottage, Spaxton, Somerset (photo); • In Apr 1901 Henry lived in Minworth Green, Cudwort Hamlet, Minworth, Warwickshire. He was staying there as a lodger and worked as a land drainer. The 1901 Census also shows that Henry, now using the name Harry Blackmore from Broome, Somerset, is lodging with a relative, William Blackmore, also employed to drain land. They are lodging at the home of widower John Styles (49), a baker/bread maker, who also comes from Broome in Somerset;
An infrequent visitor to Somerset, Henry soon felt at home in the Quantocks - especially if there was a speedway meet on top of the hills.
• In 1904, the year of his marriage to Florence Harrington, Henry was a baker and lived at 28 Essex Street, Prittlewell, Essex;
• In July 1912 Henry and Florence lived at 3 Hamburgh Terrace, Lambert Street, Southend, Essex;
• In the late 40s, early 50s, it is thought that they lived at 2 Parade Mansions, which was above some shops in Hendon Central;
• At the time of his death in 1954 they lived at 29 Wallcote Avenue, Cricklewood, London NW2, and daughter & son-in-law Irene & Ted lived next door at 31 Wallcote Avenue.

My birth certificate states that my father was one Edward John Wood my mother's first husband, but I was always told that my birth father was actually William James Dagg and my mother changed both her and my surname by deed poll about a year after I was born.
