NELLIE was born in 1908 in Limehouse where her parents managed an oil and colour shop in Salmons Lane market. The family lived over the shop during the first world war and Nellie went to the infants (1912-1915) and girls school in Dalgleish St just behind Salmons Lane.
She left school in 1923 aged 14 and was apprenticed to Hitchcock and Williams, a clothing and furrier firm near St Pauls Cathedral to learn dress making at 5/- a month. She moved with her family to Manor Park in 1925. Went to work via tram to Aldgate and then walked. Apprenticeship finished about 1928 but there was no work at the end of it and she was employed in a clothing shop in East Ham.
She met Roderick STEVENSON at a Methodist Church and married him in 1933. For a while they lived in Halley Rd in a house owned by her parents-in-law and their daughter Jean was born there the next year. For a while they lived with Rodericks parents, but relations between them deteriorated and they moved to another house in London with her sister Alice, then to Southend and then to Shoebury around 1935. Soon after, they rented a new house in Ulster Avenue, Shoebury, and Nellie began to take boarders for seaside holidays and continued dress-making at home.
After the war, they were about to move to a new bungalow in the adjacent road when Roderick died of lung cancer. Nellie moved to the new house and began work as a machinist in a clothes factory in Leigh. Near there she met Edward HAYNS a widower, who she married at Shoebury in 1959. Edward died in 1988 and Nellie lived alone for a further five years before she died of pneumonia in hospital after a short illness, aged 84.
Nellie was a very forceful character who liked to get her own way, and she generally did, insensitive to other's needs. Not for nothing was she nicknamed "Bullock" in her younger days. She tended to see those around her in black or white - angels or devils - and they often progressed from the first category to the last. This included her siblings with whom all connections were broken at the time of her mother's death. She had a hard time during the depression years when her husband had difficulty in finding work; her best times were just after world war-II when, with her husband's inheritance, they were among the very few in the road to have a car and television, which neighbours came in the evening to watch. A favourite story is that in her last year, she was moved from hospital to a nursing home, where she stood on a table with a knife in hand and tried to lead the others to escape!
