Yvonne I have found this a helpful list for London Registration Districts in London. You can get if from this website. It shows where you might also need to look for different areas. www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/REG/lnd.htm

It is north of the Thames at the east end of the city of London. Jim

Just googled and found this The medieval parish of Shoreditch (St Leonard's), was originally part of the county of Middlesex until 1889 when it became part of the County of London. The parish vestry was the local unit of administration until the creation of the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch in 1899 in the same area. Shoreditch town hall can still be seen on Old Street. The Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch was made up of three main districts in all: Shoreditch, Hoxton and Haggerston. The whole Metropolitan Borough was incorporated into the much larger London Borough of Hackney in 1965. Hope it helps

Hi Yvonne. You need London, Middlesex, or Shoreditch,Middlesex.

Not knowing anything about London, is Shoreditch in West End or East End of London, which part of London do I put in when Im searching on the Census? Would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction. Best wishes Yvonne
