I was born in the Commercial Road, and can still 'spit' to it - if it's any help I'll be going to the Bancroft Road Library again next week..... Jeanne

I get the impression from my aunt (who is a bit posh) that she reckoned this lot were a bit flash but Ive not found any evidence of that. Ive found a pic of the hotel they had on the corner of Commercial road, near both East Indies and West Indies docks, so I assume they catered for travellers.

I bet you are starting to wish you never mentioned this, eh????

Heather - you have a Shepherd-Ashby called JEANNE - how weird is that !!

Heather Send me your email addy. Jeanne

STEERS???? Yep, my lot are Steers!!!!! Oh oh oh, Shephard-Ashby?????????? My uncles family!!! They used to have a big hotel on Commercial Road.

Apart from the usual, Brown, Smith, Jones etc. etc. LINE, LOVELL, LUCY, MANN, MASKELL, MILLIGAN, MILSOM, MORRELL/MORRILL, MUNNS, MURRILL, NOTTER, OUTEN, PAINTER, PRENTICE, SAWRBERY, SEABROOK, SHEPHER-ASHBY, STEERS, TAPLI, TARR, TOFIELD, TREE, TRUBY, TRUMBLE, UPSON, WILSDEN.

Hi Guy's What on earth have I done...............LOLOLOLOL I bought the CD from Docklands Ancestry and it cost £50 I will go through it and pick out big families (20+) for each church. I am now off work for a week, so will do a couple each day. Will be happy to look stuff up for you, but as there is only me and my laptop, and trillions of you you will need to be patient. I will cut and paste what I have in word, so you'll need to send me you email addy. I'll head each church up as in the title, and it will make it easier to find - Let's say 3 churches per day. Bit of luck, someone will be more fortunate than I have been !!! Jeanne

Dont worry too much - Im giving up on this bunch really - Im only grateful so many of them were lightermen otherwise they would be a total mystery. Very kind of you to let us all know though !!! :}}}

Hi - Saw on earlier thread that you had transcription for St Georges in East, did you buy the CD?? I have found some of my lot in St Marys Whitechapel but am looking for CAYZER in East End, moved there from Cornwall in 1820 (poss just before) if you find anything for CAYZER would be interested - thanks Gill :))

Steady on now Heather.........I know you've been out of action!!!

The Dixons, Hansons, Horsteads and Edroffs would be nice!! :}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
