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.

thankyou dame shelly.

thankyou very much rambling rose that sounds about right to me,could you see who was on that census for me ?

nothing jumping out from baptisms...but there is an Annie Read , father John , on 1881 census...Leytonstone...say that quickly and you could get 'Latstaw'... the John on that record was a bricklayers labourer born Bethnal green

hi again rambling rose , my great grandmothers full name was annie read born abt1876 father john read.

It's about 3 miles I'd think?

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

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

Could it be misheard, Plaistow?
