Could some-one please look for the 1921 census for William Francis Ellis, he was born in 1920, unsure where. His parents were James Howard Ellis born 1881 and Edith Ellis nee Newman, both born in Canning Town, Essex. Would like to know where all the children were born if that is possible.
Thank-you very much to anyone who can help.

Looks like they were all registered within the West Ham registration district. Only the birth certificates will tell you where the births actually took place.

Tidal Basin would have been in the general area of Canning Town.
