Hi
I heard you are compiling coincidences.
I was asked to search my Liverpool Mother in Laws side of the family on line. We have lived in East Ham, London E6 for 33 years. I found her Great Grandad and his brother in the 1841 census ( both shipwrights in Liverpool) and followed them through 1851,1861,181, 1881(by whichtime her gt grandad was in a workhouse and gt uncle had moved to London (Poplar Docks). By 1891 the former was dead and the latter had a family and a servant.By 1901 the first window told us he had moved to East Ham(we got interested and thought we might know the 67 street he lived in....) We searched further and found that he lived in our own Central Park Road, and was the first owner of no 33; at the other end of the road (situated between where two of my wifes brothers have lived in recent years).
There must be hiundreds of Victorian roads in East Ham, let alone London, so it was quite a long shot.
