  • Question re district

    Would West Ham cover Barking in Essex?

    I have someone I am trying to find when they were born, the only candidate seems to be registered in West Ham yet they were born in Barking, Essex.

    Thanks!

    From 1837 - 1939 the registration district for Barking was Romford!

    Probably not what you wanted to hear. :o

      Thanks Elaine, no it isn't, lol!

      Could she have thought it was Barking when it wasn't?

      It is pretty close to West Ham on the map?

        Quite possible Joan.
        Is she consistent with her place of birth on all census entries?
        More likely to be more accurate when she was a child - parents usually knew where their offspring were born!

          The Boroughs are next door to each other.

            Oooo I have only just found her on the 1871 census mistranscribed !

            That's the earliest one, she is aged 1 and place of birth is Plaistow Essex.

            They are living in Canning Town, West Ham !

            Guess the 1869 birth which was reg Sept could well be her then!

                It's plop in the middle of West Ham James!

                That clinches it then, lol!

                :D
