I have a full transcription of the 1891 and the 1901 census for Blackwall Buildings. If you would like to see any residents listed here (if you have a personal interest in any), please use the contact button above and I will add them to a list. If any of the entries relate to your relative again please let me know and I will make private notes here as to the links. I would also be interested in knowing of any relationships that developed between occupants. If you are specifically interested in any of the other flats, please contact me and I will add them to the table.
It is interesting to note that the census only lists from flat 1 to 37. It is noted that several of these are unoccupied. From flat 37 onwards they are all marked unoccupied. So we can realistically establish the building date as 1891. This census has a total of 128 apartments numbered. The 1901 census lists flats 1 to 156. Most are 2 room flats. A few have 3 rooms. With up to a dozen people living in a single dwelling, it was obviously cramped.
