Part of Wapping High Street missing from 1841 census?

[sherro47]

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with missing people from Wapping Street, Wapping St John, in the 1841 census? I can't locate any of the families who lived in Wapping Street between Globe Street and Church Street, most particularly the Orton family who lived at 69 Wapping. I have gone through enumeration districts 10, 11 and 12 numerous times with no luck, and when the Ortons were impossible to locate I tried looking for their neighbours from the 1841 London Post Office Directory...no luck there either. If anyone could advise me whether this part of the census return is missing, I at least could stop this incessant wondering and searching! Many thanks, Jen

You could try checking the now archived Historical Streets Project, which has census street indexes
1841 has Wapping (High) Street in two registration districts, Stepney, and a part in St George in the East
Do you know which one your bit should be in?

Stepney Street Index T-Z is here

St George in the East RD 1841 has Globe Court + Street (nearby street, Wapping High Street) as Missing
There is a Church Street, Wapping, listed in Stepney RD

Thank you so much for your quick and helpful reply, John...I wasn't aware that the wonderful Historical Streets Project site existed, or that Wapping High Street was also covered in parts by St George In The East. I have a feeling that the Ortons may be in the missing part around Globe Street, but I am off now to investigate the previously unsearched St George In The East district. Many thanks again, Jen
