Must leave this mystery for now LOL promised myself i'd only be on here until 10am and then do some housework lol 3 hours later and am still here Will pop back later thanks for your help

I will look after lunch

Unfortunatly no list just refers me to LMA, but i can't find St georges workhouse on the database to get the ref needed. So will have to have a trip up there soon!!! Esp as the family weren't were i expected them to be this may explain why i couldn't find the eldest two childrens baptisms. They may be in St Johns??? have already found the LMA ref for St Johns Just need to find the time to escape to LMA now LOL

I would think a lot of babies were born in workhouses.Is there a list on that site for the year/person you need info on.

Heather the family wasn't in the workhouse in a cencus yr as i have them in 1891 and again in 1901. Just wondered if they fell on hard times btween census and entered the workhouse for p'haps just the birth?? That does happen doesn't it? Found this on the website you sent... St George in the East had a parish workhouse situated between Prusom Street and and Princes Street (now Raine Street), Wapping, dating from at least 1824 It also shows a map of 1880 and it is still the same workhouse in the same place!!! OOOHHH Mind going into over drive now LOL

Can you use ancestry(.)co(.)uk go into the census year you require,scroll down for area you want go into district(1,2,or wherever you need to) workhouse for district 4 I think, it will tell you all people in there for that year. Heather

Have just realised the workhouse appears to be in Prusom St. So what if they were in the workhouse??? would the address on the cert just show the address or would it state workhouse? Previous ones of mine actaully state workhouse but i realise that may not always be the case. This would explain why they are a bit further away than I thought they should be. Can I find out what the address of a work hosue was???

sorry took so long to get back to you was readin all about the workhouses. V interesting esp as we have quite afew from that area. Thanks for everyones help mystery solved... I couldn't see the wood for the trees as usual Thanks again

just scanning it will be in touch shortly and yes i do have the family in 1891 and 1901 but not at this address Census info 1901 William Lawrence (Jnr) is away on a ship The rest of the family are at home in Stepney ..Joseph Street Thomas W Coulby 39 Rotherhithe Elizabeth 38 Rotherhithe Elizabeth 15 St George Ellen 11 “ Florence E 10 “ Margaret 8 “ Thomas 6 “ 1891 St George in the East Buross St J W Coulby 31 Rotherhithe (Could be TW??) Elizabeth 30 “ William 7 St George Elizabeth 5 “ Ellen 1 “ Florence 3mths “ both these addys are in StGeorge int eh East District although differnt sub districts.

Hi, Have a look at Greenwoods map c9h Stepney area. Google St George in the east and go from there. Tina.
