Title: Frimley Street, Mile end - which ward?
Post by: Waterhouse on Wednesday 19 September 12 09:00 BST (UK)

I want to browse the online electorcal records covering Frimley Street in Mile End, immediately post-WW1. Knowing which voting ward the street was in would make the search much simpler. Does anyone have the answer at their fingertips?
Many thanks for any help given,
Waterhouse

Does the 1911 census not help you?

Sadly not I think, as I don't have a specific name to search for, so would have to browse in a similar fashion to find it. I am interested in a particular property in that street, rather than a person.

Can you not search by address?

FindMyPast certainly allows address searches.
Think you can do it on Ancestry, too?

Hi

What is the "particular property"?

I can find Frimley Street in 1901 (houses numbered 1 to 26), but not in 1911?

Hi

It is there on 1911

A....y search keyword will give the "middle of the road"
"18 Frimley St Globe Rd"

Now seems to be called "Frimley Way"
Right "on top" of Stepney Green station

Can you work it out from that?
Shout if not

Thank you to everyone who kindly responded, problem solved, using several tips you've provided. The original Frimley Street was "blitzed" and Frimley Way is a modern development in the same area, I believe.
