Hi 2shea

Where were William & Ellen born?

William was born Bethnal Green also and Ellen was born Dalston -

Thanks

[casalguidi]

I can't see them.  That's not to say that they're not there just that I can't find them with the info that you have provided

If you can find them http://www.census.pro.gov.uk then somebody should be able to look them up for you.

Best wishes

Thanks for the assistance

I may have found William and Ellen in the 1901 but the birthplace is not Bethnal Green, I don't know England very well so I have no idea where Bow is in relation.

William McEwen Head 30 b London Bow  French Polisher
Ellen Wife 28 b London Shoreditch
Ellen Daughter 8 b Essex Westow
Elsie Daughter 2 b Essex Westow

Address looks like: 88 Higham Street
Walthamstow, parish of St John, Essex 

RG13/1631/94 p 50 schedule 308
ED 56 RD West Ham SD Walthamstow

That looks pretty good - these places are relatively close to each other.  Here is a rough map:

Yes that looks like them. Sometimes people give different birthplaces and I get confused as well.

Thank you
