You help yourself, love!  ;D  My Listers never went near West Ham.  They started off in Marylebone in the 1820s - 1840s and gradually moved towards Bethnal Green and Mile End where they stayed.  My Thomas Lister married Emma Catherine Maltby - they were both born in Marylebone of Marylebone families.  I am sure Emma had loads of nieces and nephews - she was living with one towards the end of her life in the 1901 census after Thomas' death.

Does anyone have any information about Paul Street, West Ham during the 1800's.  I've looked on Multimap.co.uk and i can see that Paul Street still exists but i don't know what sort of housing it is or whether it would have been a poor area during the 1800's.  Any help gratefully appreciated! thanks

Paul Street was/is small terraced housing for the working class. The more wealthy would have lived in Forest Gate.

I came across this marriage at Essex RO:
Essex Marriage Registers T/R 203/86 pp5459

1804 Aug 12 GABRIELLE Vincent the younger of St Michael, Cornhill, London married MALTBY Margaret by Licence

In a lightning search I also saw that they had at least 2 GABRIELLE baptisms at West Ham, All Saints

Thanks, do you know if there are any pictures of Paul Street (new or old) on the internet anywhere?

Hi Clincher, sadly my Listers didn't live in West Ham - but some of my Wades did.  My Edward Lister was a solicitors clerk.

Hi,
   I started a new site to cash in on the Olympics, so started with Stratford, then West Ham, and now a whole host of other areas - just history, Trade Directories and the like, and forgot about the olympics completely. Some are quite repetitive, but the names and addresses in the Directories can be useful, plus these give you a feel for how an area grows over time.
See http://romford-hornchurch.co.uk/index.shtml for all the areas covered.

Hi Indaloman. In your post to  Re: What kind of area was WEST HAM??« Reply #3 on: Saturday 14 April 07 09:45 BST (UK) » you corrected Constance that Katherine Street was in fact Katherine Road. It is Katherine Road now but on my Great Uncle's birth certificate it shows he was born at 5 Katherine Street, Plaistow, West Ham on 22March 1888. They must have then moved as his brother is shown as being born at 59 Leyes Road, which is nearer to the docks. Their father was a chemical labourer. There were 12 Chemical factories & 4 Chemical manure works in West Ham.
