ArchivesRe: Names from 1880's London
in reply to a message by Lucia_Swanne
The Dunkling suggestion is a great one.
You could also look at the FamilySearch site online (Church of Latterday Saints genealogy website). It's free to use and you don't have to register. They have the 1881 Census there for all English counties - London will come under "Middlesex". You'll have to put in a surname for the names to come up - if you put a common surname you should get alot of results.
Now, I wonder what would please her,
Charlotte, Julia, or Louisa?
Ann and Mary, they're too common;
Joan's too formal for a woman;
Jane's a prettier name beside;
But we had a Jane that died.
They would say, if 'twas Rebecca,
That she was a little Quaker.
From poem [1809] by Charles Lamb
