Scales family in Limehouse 1838

[JSMackley]

Hi everyone

I’m looking for any details about Lucy Scales. I have a newspaper report that she lived in Week’s Place in Limehouse in 1838 when she was about eighteen years old and she had a sister. I can’t find Lucy on the 1841 census (although I’m only using a free search to see if I can find her). Perhaps she married between her appearance in 1838 and the census date? Also Week’s Place – I’ve scoured maps of Limehouse and can’t find it (it might be too small to warrant a mention). Does anyone know where it’s near? I would be interested to find anything about Lucy and her family

Her brother is named as a butcher in Narrow Street Limehouse, although no name is given - just "her brother, a respectable butcher". I would like to know his address and about his family.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes
Jon

What kind of newspaper report?  Where was she born?

Who was her brother - no name given

What is the significance of 1831 as per your subject header

Thank you for your message; I've updated the original. Lucy Scales is named as a victim of an assault at the end of February 1838. Her brother is named as a "respectable butcher in Narrow Street".

Many thanks

Brother appears to be William aged 30 in 1841.  Address very difficult to read - possibly Brick…..
