Many many thanks Horatia! Regards Angie.

Hi Angie, Just be aware that Poplar and Stepney will come under Tower Hamlets at LMA. It may be helpful to take prints of the census sheets because you will need to know which parishes to consult. Sometimes the information at the top of the census sheet will give you some idea of where to look. Beware - there are quite a few parish churches in Poplar and Stepney. These websites will give you an indication of some of them: http://homepages.gold.ac(.)uk/genuki/MDX/Poplar/churches.htm http://www(.)parishregister(.)com/areamaps.html http://www(.)eolfhs.org(.)uk/parish/parish_index.htm Remove brackets Cheers, Horatia

Thank You all so much for your time and infomation! Now all I have to do is set a date to go... Kind Regards! Angie.

I searched parish records there for Holloway & Islington. If you can I would telephone and ask .they are very helpful

Thank you both for your help and advice!.....Most appreciated! Would the LMA cover the then 'Middlesex' which is now part of London........?......... As I need info from the Poplar and Stepney areas. Many many thanks! Kind Regards Angie.

FRC or Family Records Centre holds the volumes of books with all the GRO REFs in ,and census's, and some refs for documents held at Kew. holds Marine registers for GRO refs & Consular refs too. The LMA, London Metropoltan Archives is only a short walk from FRC and holds parish records for some london churches amonst other things, better you google to find the full info held

FRC - the Family Records centre - is nationwide - BMD and census info. LMA is London Metropolitan Archives and covers only London Area (basically Greater London) - has parish info and other archives. Jim
