Hi, Can anybody help? I am trying to find the family of Rose, known as Rosina, Hensby born Poplar in 1870. Her birth cert says her fathers name is Henry and mother Eliza nee Turner. They were living at 18 Cordelia Street Bromley, Poplar Middx. I have been unable to find the family in any census or a marriage for her parents. I have really hit a wall on this branch.
