hi everyone , has anyone on here heard of a place called latstaw ime realy puzzled as to where this could be? it has come up on the 1911 census my grt grandmother annie read being born latstaw 1876, but on the 1901 census she was born bethnal green london, ide be greatful if anyone could shed some light on this thankyou keith.

Could it be misheard, Plaistow?

If you'd like to give a full name I can look on the London records on Ancestry , for a baptism maybe?

ime not sure would you know if plaistow is near bethnal green london?

It's about 3 miles I'd think?

hi again rambling rose would you know if that means that john would of been born in the poor house?

thankyou dame shelly.

Keith no he wouldn't , that is just the area as such.

Though mothers may have given birth in the workhouse rather than at home, that would be because it was the only 'medical' service available not necessarily because they were inmates.

rambling rose thanks again for takeing the time to help me out on this you have given me so much info to go on, its realy apprieciated thankyou so much keith.

a big thankyou to ramblingrose, and dame shelly, ive now got the birth cert for annie read and it was leytonstone essex and not latstaw thankyou both again you was both a great help to me.

I'm glad you have progressed Keith, it's always nice to know the results of any searching I've helped with :)
