"Registration District East London

Giles Cripplegate

He also notes "that 12 Well Street is the address where we found Joseph Jury and Mary J. Jury living with 3 children in the 1851 census. It appears to have been a boarding house, as there were 5 families living there. I can't quite make out the signature of the registrar, but I don't think that matters much anyway."
