Hello again,

It looks like 9 Spital Street, and the other family were

John Kingston(Kingdom?)  38, Silk Weaver, born Ireland
Ephebia?                           29    "                  Bethnal Green
Hannah                             11                              "
Jane                                  5 months                   "

I've had a quick look at the 1841, but can't immediately find John Hosford, but there is a William Hosford living in Bethnal Green with his family, who was also a silk weaver.
Do you want those details?

I looked in Pigots 1839 which is by name not address.  There were no Hosfords, Horsford or anything similar.  Sorry

I think you may have something there Jen.  Although Hobsons Place is in MENT, it's still in Whitechapel.  I think this may be him.

I wonder where Jane Innocent was?  Her family were living in Little York Street in Bethnal Green, but there's no sign of her.

I love this site, you're all so helpful...  :)

I thijnk Jane Horsford in the 1841 census is Jane Innocent. I just realised they got married in July 1840...

This must be the right family!

Thanks again for all your help.

That's why I put her in bold  ;D

This family certainly looks promising.

Have you got John's marriage certificate?
