Hi thanks all for your help.

The thing is my husbands grandfather was illegitimate. I have him on the 1881 census as a boarder. I got his birth certificate to get his mothers name which is Esther Catlin a Dressmaker, at the time the birth cert says 88 webber row. Southwark. The district on the cert is St saviour, surrey. I'm wondering if it is some sort of mothers home or something.

Is that any help?

Just to clarify - there are even-numbered addresses in order on that page too: 86 and 92.

# 88 doesn't show up on the previous or next page.

Do you want to pass on the names for help searching for them?

Oh, and -- are you sure you're reading 88 correctly? Might not be 83 or 85 or some such?

There's a household at 87 Webber Row ...

Okay, on the images the addresses skip from 87 to 91, but there are two households in between, although they seem to be at 87 as well, from the single (rather than double) line between them.

87 has William Lambert with Mary, Arthur, Lilian and Albert.

Then there is John Boudry, with Eliza and Charlotte.

Then Frederick Garwood, with Eliza, Frederick, Eliza and Louisa.

91 has N.K., aged 50, with N.K. aged 20 and N.K. aged 16, all female.

Ancestry isn't returning a result for #88, although there are a lot of other households on Webber Row.

Hang on and we'll see what might be on the image.

Hi, can anyone help please.
I am trying to find a way to search the 1881 England Census to find out who lived at the following address: 88 Webber Row, Southwark, Surrey.
My husbands grandfather was born there in 1878, but I cannot find his mother.
Any ideas are very welcome
Thanks Jo
