My ancestor was a stone sawyer (James Butcher b1818 Pancras) and staying there.
In 1851 he was lodging in Southwark as a sawyer's lab. His father was a stone mason in Pancras.
I worked in Whitechapel in the early seventies and there was a lot of deprivation there then.
Next to the address of ?1 Osborn Place are the initials ? LLH which I take to mean Licensed Lodging House?
Do you know exactly what a stone sawyer is?
Here is the link to p 1 of the census image on Ancestry. Mainly men of all different trades but a few women. Wonder what their lives (esp the women's) were like living there.
