Application form for George Frederick Blackmore, Student ICE
Born 19 February 1857

Addresses for G.F. Blackmore From Institute of Civil Engineers
1880 6 Westminster Chambers, SW
Jan 1889 11 Victoria Street, SW
4/3/1891 Coal Co. Grape Creek, Ill, US
29/11/1895 15 Westbourne Grove, Ilfracombe (address on return from USA?)

2/4/1894 34 Wendell Rd, Shepherds Bush, W
5/6/1900 30 Rylett Crescent, Ravenscourt Park, W
21/2/1922 Resigned from membership
- the Westbourne Grove, Ilfracombe address confirms that this is the correct person (address of his father, William Blackmore)
- I would guess that the date for Westbourne Grove should be 1893, not 1895
- He presumably resigned his membership when he retired, aged 65

Mr Blackmore sent correspondence relating to `Floating docks', ICE Minutes of Proceedings, vol 161, January 1905 (copy held)
