Hi all. Can someone please look up the following : 1. A Dak living dock area of East End - Poplar/Limehouse 2. Who was living at 40 Henniker Gardens, East Ham 3. Who was living at 28 Limehouse Causeway, Limehouse - prob. Poplar Thank you so much in advance. Maz. XX

Thanks Rosemary - I'm trying to solve the latest mystery to rear its head!! Honestly, as soon as you find one thing out, it gives you another 10 questions!! Thanks. Maz. XX

Ah so Maz - this is where the chinese person comes in!!! Limehouse was a particular area related to the chinese population - I bet the chinese person in the grave was a lodger and it was the kind hearted 17 year old who bought the grave for him (and not the rest of his family as I suggested). That's why the 2 year old was not buried in it as it would have offended the sensibilties of some, but come the 1900's and 1918 when his parents died he probably thought, well the space is there, it's already paid for and I might as well use it!

Nudge up for Marion - you might miss it as it's so far down the list now Jacqui
