Worth a check to see if a Gainsford Walford married Helene X about 1838 or so.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

Good one Kris,
hopefully you are transcribing census for us.  I'd checked the 1881 and couldn't come up with anything ending with 'ford' - hat it when it is so obvious when someone else points it out.
Cheers from down under,

Thank you so much for your help. I'll dig around the Gainsford name and see if it  ties in.  Did they have Miller's in Shoreditch!   I got it into my head that as Charles Henry said he was born in Saffron Walden that his dear old dad was grinding corn around that area.   Thank you so much for taking an interest.

There seems to have been many cotton mills in and around Shoreditch in those days -  also came across some flour mills.
Do a 'google' and wander through.
