someone might be able to help me. On the wedding certificate of my
relative in 1856 he listed his place of residence as Rotherhithe, can
somebody please tell me where it is and what might have been the employment
in the area then. My relative George Edward Coombs is a mystery man as I
have his parents marriage in Wiltshire and his marriage in Wiltshire but no
birth place. George Edward then came to Australia straight after his
marriage. Hoping somebody can help, thanks for your time

Sharon,

Rotherhithe is now in London, in the Borough of Southwark. It is located
in the former Docklands on the south bank off the Thames. In the 1850s,
before the creation of the London County Council, it would have been
considered in Surrey.

Yours aye, Iain  -  in Windsor in the former county of Berkshire
