Thank you so very much for searching
the address for me - what a shame it is
not the Hadley family.
I do appreciate your help.
Many thanks Irene

Thank you so very much for find the address.
Such a shame it is not the family but so kind of
you to search for me.
Kind regards Irene

I have found 1 John's gardens 1881. I am sure this is the same place, as it leads to Repton St., as in 1891. This family is there:

1881
Name: Alfred Scott
Age: 43
Estimated birth year: abt 1838
Relationship to Head: Head
Spouse: Josephine Scott
Gender: Male
Where born: Wiltshire, England
Civil Parish: Limehouse
County/Island: London
Country: England
Street address: 1 Johns Gdns
Marital Status: Married

Occupation: Lbrer
Registration district: Stepney

Alfred Scott 43
Josephine Scott 33
Annie Scott 11
William Scott 9
Fanny Scott 7
Rebecca Scott 4
Emily Scott 2
Edith Scott

I am cross with myself that I got rid of my 1881 census discs
as I could have searched them and found the answer to my
request who lived at the addresses I have for 1891 census.
Looks like I am not going to find the family in the 1881 census
online.
Regards Irene

yes that's the Gill children.
Looks like the mother and John Hadley
got together and went on to have their
own children.
Many thanks for looking for me.
Regards Irene

Is this them??

Name: Sarah Gill Hadley
Age: 28
Estimated birth year: 1833
Relation: Widowed Sister
Gender: Female
Where born: Wapping, Middlesex, England
Civil Parish: St George in the East
Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch
County/Island: Middlesex

Registration district: St George In The East
Sub-registration district: St Paul

John Hadley 31 Whitechapel, Middlesex, England
Sarah Gill Hadley 28
John Thomas (7 yrs I think) Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
Sarah Ann Thomas 5 St George, Middlesex, England
Mary Ann Thomas 3 St George, Middlesex, England

Where are they Irene? I can't spot them 1861! What are their names and when/where were they born?

Sarah Hobbs married Thomas James Gill in 1852 then in
1861 you find her lodging with John Hadley with her 3 Gill
children. I have the birth certs of John Hadley 1864 and
Albert Arthur 1870 which confirm that Sarah Hobbs/Gill is
their mother. I have not found a marriage for Sarah and John
Hadley.
Many thanks for your help. Irene

Still no luck Irene. Can I just ask what surname Sarah & her children had before she married John Hadley? When did they marry? Just to double-check no mix-ups with name 1881. Seems silly perhaps, but you never know - stranger things have happened!

Hobbs was Sarah's maiden name so could
well be another son.
Looks like Turner Street.
Many thanks Irene

A badly written Turner Street? Definitely starting with a T

Might be another child?? Just because father is a dock labourer, as is John 1891. Can anyone make out address?

Name: Thomas Hobbs Hadley
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 3 Nov 1878
Father's name: John Hadley
Mother's name: Sarah Hadley
Parish or Poor Law Union: Stepney St Philip
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Register Type: Parish Registers

Just to absolutely rule them out, I have found the Eardly family 1891.

The Sarah in 1881 above is a needlewoman, which might match as Sarah 1871 is a seamstress. But the rest is too different I think/

No I am sure that is not them but a good find.
Thank you anyway.
Regards Irene

EDIT doesn't seem likely does it!

So still in the Stepney area (John's Gardens could have been anywhere) but John Senior now a Dock Labourer, so not necessarily looking for a Gun Smith aback in 1881

Understand it's 1881 you can't find them, but have posted for info. so we who don't know places of birth and occupations etc might have a bit more info to work on.

Where are the family in 1891 please?

Thank you for your kind reply.
Sarah 16 and Mary Ann 13 are the children
from Sarah's previous marriage.
