I know Old Ford and Homerton are areas of London, but can somehelp me be more precise?? Would they be near to Peckham or the other side of the river and Stepney? My instinct tells me Stepney, but am prepared to be wrong LOL

Your instincts are right. Homerton is Hackney and Peckham is south of the river and originally in Surrey.

thanks guys don't suppose you knwo which reg district they'd come under I can't find a mention of either of them on genuki!!!

Igot this from a google: Created 1st July 1837. In Middlesex until 1889. Sub-districts : Central Hackney; Hackney; North Hackney; South Hackney; South East Hackney; South West Hackney; Stamford Hill; Stoke Newington; West Hackney. GRO volumes : III (1837-51); 1b (1852-1930). Hackney, Stoke Newington.
