Comments on: My Family in Limehouse https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/07/08/my-family-in-limehouse/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 13 Sep 2019 09:03:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Lydia Durrant https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/07/08/my-family-in-limehouse/#comment-1313209 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 09:03:39 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=93171#comment-1313209 Ann…a mind-opening story..leaving one with a sense of sadness for those hard days of life…one I would not have searched after but for my cousin in Australia having come across members of our family name living in Limehouse, must be 1840’s up! It seems that they kept their Surname but were possibly taken in by the Head of Limehouse, Nathaniel Boscock shown in a census done in 1861. Nathaniel was married and had his own daughter. The census notes my kin as daughters/son. They were Louisa 14, Emily 9 and Nathaniel 6 BINEDELL. Maybe orphans?
I see there is an arrow off centre left to someone in their 70’s or more. Is there any name?
Any further info on your research involving any of the above names would be greatly appreciated, or indeed, any more photos -x-
Thank you so much for your article.

My mum often mentioned your mum. I’ve come across your message very late as I was researching something else from the piece above. I would love to make contact. I tried to reply via your link above, but no luck. Perhaps the Gentle Author could fish it out? I hope your mum enjoyed it!!! : ) X

I assume the photos above are all St Anne Street? Do you have any more?

Fantastic write up by the way!

In the top picture the young man in the far left holding a cup is my grandad Tom, your great uncle. The lady sitting on the end of the seat is granny beck. I’m doing the family tree so would be great to make choices intact. I’m going to buy your book as my mum , pat beck, wants t o read it.
