London abode
« on: Thursday 14 April 16 10:06 BST (UK) »
Can someone please help me decipher the abodes in the column above Ratcliff?

Without knowing the location too well, I wondered if it might be something like MEOT, possibly for Mile End Old Town. Does that sound feasible?

I'd plump for Mile End Old Town.

Agree - I remember the address of family I was researching also listed in the same way

Definitely MEOT = Mile End Old Town, one of the original 'hamlets' of Tower Hamlets.

Useful map and history here ...

For obvious reasons, it frequently appears as MEOT in the registers.
