Enumerator description in 1871 census- South Hackney, District 2

District 3 , District 4 , District 5 , District 6

I thought it a little more interesting by following the enumerator along his or her steps as they listed the census for an area. Chosen is the District 2 of South Hackney in 1871. This is particularly to be able to list the relevant public houses, beer houses and taverns in Hackney; but more importantly to put the area of Hackney into perspective.

This is ongoing, and also helps to ensure all Public Houses are listed correctly, and ensure that road numbering changes that appear to confuse allow a better perspective of an area.

I think the enumerators description of this area is a good start - this relates to 102 census pages. I list a few of the entries along the way ........

"All that part of the District which comprises of the West side of Mare Street from Flying Horse Yard - North side of West Street - East side of London Fields to the end of Exmouth Place - the west side of Duncan Place to the Shoreditch boundary -= Lower Duncan Street - Sarahs cottages - George Street - John Street - Ebenezer Place and Prospect Place Including Warburton Road -  Warburton Street & Warburton Square"
