	Hello all Can anyone tell me which census to look at in 1891 for Canning Town, London? From Genuki it would appear to be Essex. Is this right? Lynne

	Hi Anna Thanks for that. All of my ancestors are from Scotland so far and I have about six born in England that I can't find anything about. Got a letter from my Dad's family yesterday written in 1892 in Canning Town with adress on so I am going to try and find out what I can about the author. Lynne
