How to find who was living at an addres at the time

[notaninch]

Can someone help me here, please. I have hit one of those brick walls again. In 1850 Sarah Osborn marries Raphael William Imhoff and their address is 67 Murray Street, Hoxton, London. They are married at Shoreditch Registry. What I need to find out is where she lived prior to getting married. How do I find inhabitants of a particular address - say the residents of Murray Street, Hoxton when 1841 Census was taken.

When she marries in 1850 she states she is 32, a spinster, her father is Thomas a Baker....presumably he was still alive at the time. There are a lot of Osborn's in the area but I can't locate Thomas or Sarah prior to the marriage...Obviously she becomes Imhoff so no problem there. On later censuses she gives her place of birth as Middllesex - so presumably she was born in or around Shoreditch

Hi Jennifer yes you have the correct person - intriguingly the family change their family name from Imhoff to Osborn i.e. her maiden name.

I know he worked on St George's Hall, Liverpool...I also have his naturalisation papers. e was originally from Prussia (Cologne) and belonged to a long line of sculptors. His father William Joseph Imhoff did a great deal of sculpture work inside Cologne Cathedral. But I'm struggling ith the maternal side - the Osborn' prior to 1850.
