Many accurate 1921 census transcriptions have already been added to the pub history site, including London, and parts of Middlesex. If you can contribute to the site, send me some details to Kevan, along with some description of the specific property.

Mrs Bridget Hickey the landlady of the Wade Arms was a witness at my great
grand mother Margaret Clancy`s marriage to her second husband George
Charlston on the 18th November 1883 at St Marys and St Josephs church
Poplar. Margaret; and her first husband Daniel Clancy lived prior to his
death in 1881 in Grove Street, which became Bygrove Street. Bridget Hickey
herself was given a mention in the Stepney Docks Web site, in relation to
the Stepney Dock Strike of 1889, cooking food for the leaders of the strike,
,despite a fairly large family of her own to feed, on perhaps as a widow, a
very limited amount of money. I am proud as a retired person these days
,having discovered Bridget during my searching for my own family ancestors,
was a good friend of my great grandmother. ***
