Ancestory Question?

My father informed my that my great-grandfather was from the UK and there is a street in London named after us Cullum Street, which a friend sent me a picture of YEARS ago and never connected the two.

Anyone know where I can find information on this?

Cullum Street is built on the site of the house of Sir Thomas Cullum, a 17th century London merchant whose accounts are discussed in Alan Simpson, The Wealth of the Gentry 1540-1660 (1961), ch.3.

If Sir Thomas was big around 1600, he's more than likely not your great-grandfather, but perhaps a bit further back.  I'd see if I could find a copy of the Simpson book for more info.  It'd be cool if it turns out you're related to the guy the street's named for. 

I will so look that up! Yeah my dad sure can tell some stories but he is the 3rd in the family name and it goes back beyond that...

Interesting to look up though!

thanks
