Thanks again Lynda, It's strange because I got an Alan Godfrey map of Bethnal Green. On the back there is an abstract of a london directory and I couldn't believe my Benjamin Riggs was on it. All for £2.10. It's given me the 1861 entry I was looking for. Cheers Diane

Hi Diane Glad I found her for you. I just had a look on the 1861 name index, but I'm afraid she wasn't on there. Lynda

Linda You are a star, This is the first piece of info I have with Alice (my gt.gt gandmother) on it. I didn't have anything concrete on this family and in the last week it has all come together. If I can find Alice on the 1871 I'll be well happy. She wasn't with the family or at the address on her marr cert in 1872. Thanks again Diane

Hi can anybody help me with an 1861 look up for Benjamin Riggs and family (hopefully including daughter Alice). I have an address from an 1865 London directory of 17 Globe Rd., Mile End. I have them at another number in Globe Rd., on the 1871 and his wife as a widow on the 1881 again at Globe Rd., Although this sometimes says its Bethnal Green Thanks Diane
