The majority of my rellies, on all four sides, came from the St. Georges in the East area of London, or Middlesex as it was in the mid 1800s. I Googled, Tower Hamlets to pass the time, and was amazed at how much information there is about this part of London. I have printed some super records, like.. .'The 1832 cholera epidemic in East London' Annie Besant and the match-girl strike of 1888 A Curious burial. These accounts are helping to paint a picture of how my rellies lived. Go on, give it a go. Kathlyn
