Hi !
I have an access to Ancestry but can't figure out if it is possible to make a research with an address, so I have been trying to go through Bethnal Green in the 1891 census but didn't find the address I was looking for...
I would like to know who was living at 355 Bethnal Green Road in 1891 ?
If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it !! Thank you... ;)
-
Ancestry does not have an address search facility for 1891. You will only find it on FindMyPast which has address search for all censuses
-
William A Gale, Elizabeth and Alice. Plus William and Sarah Walker.

Thanks a lot, Carole and BumbleB ! ;) I was hoping to find some Walkers ! :D
Can someone help me decipher William's occupation, please ? And if I read it right, Sarah is just said to be a "british subject", no place of birth... any idea why ?

Thank you BumbleB :)
Are the Walkers still at 355 Bethnal Green Rd in 1901 ? Were they already there in 1881 ? I'm trying to find them on Ancestry but without the address search, it's a little complicated
-
Sarah Walker is there in 1881 aged 51, but none of the others.

Thank you. No Walkers there in 1901 anymore ?
Thanks again.

Sorry, no.

Thank you so much for your kindness ! :) Were Sarah or William there in 1871 ?
-
Sorry, no.

Thank you so much for your kind help. Will continue digging :)

Hi Ministeph,
Are you still researching the William Walker you mention in this thread? I suspect he was my 2xgreat-grandfather's brother and would love to compare notes on him.
Cheers,
Jo

Hi again!
I received your message, but RootsChat isn't letting me reply for some reason (not really used to working with this platform, so could be just me). I have the same username at Ancestry, so you could contact me there.
I am very keen to talk more as I have lots to tell, but in short, I am trying to prove that my 2xgreat-grandfather Alfred Walker was the son of Thomas Walker and Sarah Arrowsmith, so brother to Thomas, William and various other siblings. My mother has DNA matches to dozens of Arrowsmith descendants as well as several descendants of your Thomas and his brother James. I am confident Alfred belongs in this family, I just don't (yet) have the paper trail to prove it.
I have been building out the tree for these Walkers for some time in the hope of finding the evidence I need and William has been my latest target.
Anyway, please look for me at Ancestry, I am also happy to receive emails.
Cheers,
Jo
