There is a website somewhere with the change of London street names on it but I can't seem to source the link.

This might be what you were thinking of, but the changes are too recent for this topic.  1857-1929 and 1929-1945.  Perhaps useful for someone else.

In the 1780s going by those Land Tax books, you could tell Bethnal Green still had many Huguenot surnames, as this was 100 years after the first major wave of Huguenot immigrants, although there were more waves in the early 1700s and a small wave in the early 1750s, of which Francois Fradin, my ancestor was among them.

Susan Fradin, my 5xgreat gran born 1765 married Norwich born weaver Dennis Helsdon in May 1784 when she was 19. She was about 7 months pregnant when she wed Dennis.

My Cressé/Cressee ancestors were also in Bethnal Green around the same time but they moved about a bit too.

David Cressé (a Weaver) for example was christened in Spitalfields, married in Portsmouth, then had his first child with his wife in Portsea before moving to Bethnal Green about 1748/9. By 1759 he had his son George christened at St. Botolph Bishopsgate, London before finally settling down in Edmonton where he died in 1787.

His son David Cressé/Cressey was born in Bethnal Green, married in Shoreditch and then moved to Winchmore Hill/Edmonton where he died in 1838.

My Hold family who married into the Cressé (David above's sister Hannah Cressé) also ended up in Winchmore Hill/Edmonton.

However the elder David Cressé's brother Isaac Cressé ended up in Jamaica whilst two of David Cressé Junior's daughters ended up married to brothers of the Winter family one of whom ended up in Ceylon/Sri Lanka.
