If your ancestor was living in the Romford area in the 1820s I might be able to find them in my Rate Book transcriptions. Index covers Romford, Collier Row, Gidea Park and parts of Hornchurch. This is an ongoing project!
Information from the index varies, but these are full transcriptions; some entries only give a little detail others give a bit more about the property owned. Index is arranged by both owners and occupiers names.
