140 New Kent Road, Southwark in 1901
« on: Saturday 06 September 25 17:03 BST (UK) »
I'm interested in 140 New Kent Road, Southwark on the 1901 census.  I'm researching someone listed at that address and wondering if it is something to do with the workhouse?

There are 15 occupants; the head is described as 'Superintendent' and most of the other occupants as 'lodgers' but again most don't have occupations. 

Does anyone know the history of this building or can throw some light on what is going on here?

Very interesting -
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
He/she who never made a mistake, never made anything.
Archbell - anywhere, any date
Kendall - WRY
Milner - WRY
