The earliest known ancestor is Thomas SHORT, who was a weaver at various addresses in the East End of London (including Petticoat lane) during the second half of the 17C. He may have been the son of a mariner who died overseas shortly after his birth
Four more generations of weavers succeeded Thomas in Mile End New Town or Bethnal Green: Thomas (1691-), Thomas (1715-), Francis (1755-1816), William (1797-1851). The hand-weaving trade in the East End however was in severe decline during this time because of competition from power looms. Francis was noted as a pauper, and William gave up the trade in 1828 to become a dairyman, keeping cattle at his home and selling the milk in the streets.
William's son Thomas continued as a dairyman until cattle disease almost put an end to this East End trade in 1866. His widowed mother opened a coffee shop in Bethnal Green Rd and Thomas (together with his 10 year old son) got a job in a new oil & colour shop next door owned by a Mr Williams.
This began a long association of the SHORT family with various branches of William’s shops. Thomas and his son eventually managed a shop in Roman Rd; his grandson Thomas managed a shop in Salmon Lane, Stepney until it closed in 1922. This Thomas’ daughter, Nellie, married Roderick STEVENSON in 1933
