Hi Rosie

What was the man's name? I will try to look him up in Ancestry.co.uk's London Parish records for you if you like.

Also, have you tried www.parishregister.com which covers this area?

Hi Rosie,

I'm guessing you've alrady Googled Shadwell.
GENUKI has information on Shadwell and the whereabouts of it's records at: http://homepages.gold.ac.uk/genuki/MDX/ShadwellStPauls/index.html
Wikipedia comes up with:
'Shadwell is an inner-city district situated within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets located on the north bank of the Thames between Wapping to the south and Limehouse to the east. It is located 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Charing Cross and forms part of the East End of London" And these churches:
"St. Paul's Shadwell with St. James Ratcliffe, is traditionally known as the Church of Sea Captains. In 1656 the church was established as a Chapel of Ease, from St Dunstan's, at Stepney. In 1669, it was rebuilt as the Parish Church of Shadwell, and it was the last of five parish churches rebuilt after the Restoration. In 1820, it was again rebuilt as a 'Waterloo church'.

A good desription of Old Shadwell here:

I have a copy of the London Parish Map from 1903 which I could look at for you if that would help?

Cheers,
