Hi, Krista!

You might try the England Lookup Exchange where you can get free lookups on
the 1881 census and much other material. You can reach them at
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/8555.lookup.html

I have the 1823 Pigot's Directory for Essex if you care to e-mail your
ancestor's surname.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas,

Joan in Colorado

Subject: Poplar Training School in Essex

We are trying to trace my grandfather and his family in England prior
to his emigration to Canada. He was orphaned at age 5 or 6, sent to
a place called "Poplar Training School", which we believe was in
Brentwood Essex - can anyone tell me anything about this place?

Also - is there anything online for looking up surnames in the UK?
