UK Census. How do I find a specific street in the next census?

On the third page of the record it shows him transferring to the RMLI in 1903.

Thanks. Now corrected above.

There is a William KENT born Hackney 1882 with father James and younger brother Charles  living at
28 Ottaway Street Hackney in 1891
RG12/0185 Folio 66 page 49, the father is a labourer, not a cabinet maker.

This could be the William Robert KENT mentioned above (reply #23), baptised on 19 April 1882 at Christ Church Clapton, from 18 Ottaway Street, son of James (carman) and Mary.

William's RMLI record attached. He was on HMS Galatea during the Battle of Jutland.
As far as I know he only had one first name.

I would put money on the Ottaway Street family being the correct one, and the baptism found by Bookbox is him. Although the RMLI record shows his birth year as 1884, there is no matching birth in the GRO Index, however the one for William Robert in 1882 is the correct quarter for the April birth. Ages and other facts often out on military records.

Quite often middle names were dropped which could explain why Robert is not on his records, in the same way some people adopted middle names during their lifetime.

i suggest you look further into the Ottaway Street family, try and find what became of that Charles, the more information you glean on all the families mentioned, the easier it will become to eliminate them.

Thank you. I will follow the leads and report back eventually. This has been ongoing for some months.

Just to clarify ...

I posted the 1882 baptism simply to link up the records that have been found for William Robert Kent -- birth index (reply #23) and 1891 census in Ottaway Street (reply #25) -- NOT because I think he is the right person. He has the wrong father (James) with the wrong occupation (labourer/carman), as compared to the 1909 marriage record.

However, the Willie Kent in Peacock Street, Bethnal Green (reply #17), has the right father (John) with the right occupation (cabinet maker). Admittedly he apparently has no brother Charles, but with the greatest respect it's possible that the details of this WW1 death, or the brother's name, may have been misremembered over time.

This William Kent in Peacock Street with the father John (cabinet maker) is said in 1891 to have been born in Whitechapel 1885/86. Perhaps he just thought he was born in Hackney? Peacock Street is in any case very close to the parish boundary with Hackney. Just a thought.

Also possible that Charles came along later, after the census.
I couldn't find Peacock St though.

I will chack al the stuff. Thanks.

I couldn't find Peacock St though.

The official census street index for Bethnal Green in 1891 shows Peacock Place and Street off Cambridge Road. The sequence of streets as enumerated in 1891 is Peacock Place, Peacock Street, Poyser Street.

Peacock Place is shown here (Stanford 1878)

From the top of the map square, follow Cambridge Road to about halfway down the map, where you see the Museum. Peacock Place is off the west side of Cambridge Road, opposite the Museum. The dwellings will probably have been alongside the railway arches.
