Hi guys, wondering if someone would be so kind as to help me look up who was living at 279 Tooley Street, Bermondsey, on the 1901 & 1911 census's?
That is the address given on the marriage certificate of my wifes great grandfather, James Grant.
Thank you!

Surely it would have been better to nudge up your original thread rather than starting another one

By adding any reply to a thread has the effect of nudging back up the board.
