1841 / 1851 / 1861 Whitechapel/Stepney Census Lookup
« on: Monday 29 November 04 20:20 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

i wonder if someone could help.. I am currently trying to track down a family in the Whitechapel / Stepney area that seems to flit between 2 properties from Birth Certificates I have.

The surname of the family is WIGHTWICK, however, it is possible one of the properties is owned by a family with surname GRAY.

The addresses are:

9, King Edward Street, Whitechapel
26, King Edward Street, Whitechapel

and

5, East Street, Globefields, Stepney

If someone could please look these addresses up for me in the 1851 / 61 census I would be most grateful.

Kind Regards

Andy

There is no reference to an East St Stepney nor Globefields.   You may need to look up lost London streets and see if you can find where it was.  If you can give me a couple of other street references around it that may help
Sorry I can't help with 1861 index, hopefully someone else will pick that up for you

Thanks ever so much..

East Street changed its name some time after 1859 to Moss Street.

East Street was just off Smart Street (which still exists in post code EC2) which itself was off Green Street (now Roman Road).

BTW, what does NK stand for? Not Known?

There is an East Street in Bethnal Green, possibly near Globe Road
HO 107/1540 Enumeration district 7 folios 192-208 and Enumeration dist 22 folios 642-668

Only one grey William at folio 655

I answered this query on the London Board giving a reference for Witwick.  Can you look at that for Andy.  HO 107/1549 folio 180

Too many Grays in the indexes
