Hi Christine No:( There are four missing sisters whose marriages I haven't been able to trace so far - if they married. This lot have a habit of assuming names and marrying late or not marrying:)

In which case, you know the surnames ??

Hi Alter Ego It's no.90 but I don't know any names. My great grandparents married from there and I want to look on the off chance that one of their (several) missing siblings is there. They lived in Holloway when they married and had no business marryin in Hackney:))

Any idea of the number in pedro street or any names that you are hoping to find

Thanks Merry Actually I'm having a go and it's not taking too long to trawl through:)) Jan - u and Rick coming to London on the 8th?

Thanks girls:)) I'll leave your suggestion Jeanette in the hope that Rick can come up with something easier lol. I know I'm being tight but I have spent tooo much lately and begrudge wasting a fiver when I only want to spend 75p :s

If you have access to Ancestry you could trawl the ''Description of Enumeration District'' pages. These give details of all the streets visited within each enumeration district. Only trouble is, there are over 120 districts in Hackney and I bet Pedro Street is on the 119th one you look at!! Merry

Hi David Rick knows how to do this but he is out tonight. Will ask him tommorow if its not too late Jan xx

Hi David As far as I can see there is no easy way to do this. When you get to the 1901 search page, scroll down and click on London. Scroll down again and click on Hackney. You then have 4 sub-registration districts. Each sub-registration district is divided into enumeration districts. Next to each enumeration district it says View Description of Enumeration District. If you have lots of time to spare you can read through them and hope they mention Pedro Street! lol Good Luck! Jeanette x

I'm trying to find who was living at an address in Pedro Street Hackney in 1901. I really don't want to buy credits for the 1901 site as it's only this address I want to look up. Is it possible to find out what the folio & piece number for this street would be and then I can search it on Ancestry. Thanks:)
