This list of people is constructed from a bibliography of selected documented sources from which the names and events of people residing in Stepney (and environs) has been extracted and compiled in alphabetical order.
It covers a broad period and included are things such as burials, marriages, wills, deaths, criminal convictions, union memberships as well as things one would expect to find in a commercial directory.
Some examples: GREEN MR BAKER OF MILE END RD.SENT BUNS TO WORKHSE 1886 RICHARD JOHN LABOURER HAD LEGS BROKEN AT LONDON DOCKS 1805 SEAWARD JOHN SHIPBUILDER:DIED 72Y AT 20 BRECKNOCK CRESC 1858 SUTTON WILLIAM CLAY PIPE MKR:RATCLIFF HIGHWAY 1836
The bibliography from which the info was taken is available on the site.
It is an odd collection, but hope someone finds this useful
