Thank you so much. I can now fill in a few blanks.
Gill Jordan (Evans)

Is there anyway to get actual street addresses on the lists you have kindly found/ A lot of the Spitalfields streets are still existing. I do know that my grandfather's coffee shop was right next the Hawksmoor Christchurch if the street number remains and that it is now a fabrics shop.
Gill

Hi Gill,

The address in 1901 is 82, Commercial St
1891 for Alfred 18, Mayfield St, Hackney
1881 10, Chiltern St. Bromley, St thomas, Tower Hamlets

I've saved the images so if you pm me your email address i will send them.
