St Lukes/Shoreditch

[juju9999uk]

Are these two in the same area? Am looking for Joseph Wood in the 1891 census, Father James Wood. On the 1901 census he is listed as being born in Shoreditch and a possible match in the 1881 census is listed as being born in St Lukes. Any help please.

Hi
I can't see a St Lukes in Shoreditch (but thats me) - do you have a full address for 1901? Could check it on 1891 Census.

Sorry JuJu

No one of that surname at no 22 in 1891 (James and Heath families).
Good luck

Thanks Reyz,
I think that maybe he wasn't married in that census, therefore he was either at home with his family or in lodgings. Many thanks for your help.

Hi JuJu
I'm new to this.  Don't know if it will help but I know that St. Lukes and Shoreditch were Inner London Registration Districts next door to each other.  Hope it is of use.

Hi JuJu

Adding to tarajobrien's information, the address is "St Clement's Buildings, Lever Street." My family comes from this area too, and I now work a couple of minutes away from Lever Street. There were many blocks of social housing in this area, including Guiness and Peabody Trust estates, and this may have been one of them. The whole area was redeveloped in the late 1950s and many of the residents were moved to new estates near St John Street.

That's probably more than you wanted to know . . .
