Will do 1871 census searches for Surrey, but it can sometimes take me a while to get through them. The following parishes are on the London discs NOT Surrey:Bethnal Green - Camberwell - Chelsea - Greenwich - Hackney - Hampstead - Holborn - Islington - Kensington - Lambeth - Lewisham - London City - Marylbone - Mile End Town - Pancras - Poplar - Stepney - St George Hanover Square - St George in the East - St Giles - St Saviour Southwark - St Olave Southwark - Strand - Shoreditch - Wandsworth - Westminster - Whitechapel - Woolwich Just to add there is sadly no index, so as much info as poss is needed but I will do my best. Also I can't access the site every day so please don't think I'm ignoring any new messages, I'll post a message when I've taken the latest enquiries

Jane Elizabeth and James Charles Mottley married in 1850 and were living at 65 Commercial Road, Lambeth (then in Surrey) in 1857 when my Gr Grandfather also James Charles Mottley was born. On 1881 census Jane was staying with her sister Ellen Bradshaw in Limehouse and had Daughters Jane 21 & Frances 19 with her. These two daughters were born in Poplar.
