Notes:

One tree online lists him as James BANFILL b. 1791 in the 1841 census in St. Mary Whitechapel, Middlesex. In that census he has a wife Susanna born 1791. Both NOT born in Middlesex. Living with them are a William WILLS b. 1827 Middlesex and Charlotte WILLS b. 1831 Middlesex.

That James dies before the 1851 census but Susanna carries on in the following censuses:

1851 - "Susannah" b 1789 Dartmouth, Devon. Mother of Charlotte now MATTHEWS in Mile End Town, Middlesex.
- On Feb 8 1848 Charlotte WILLS marries Henry MATTHEWS (the above head of household) in Stepney, her father is listed as James WILLS, Tailor, so Susanna(h) BANFILL is the mother of Charlotte MILLS, Wife of James BANFILL and once wife of James WILLS??
- There is a Charlotte WILLS baptised on 20 May 1831 to a James and SARAH WILLS

1861 - "Susan" b 1789 Dartmouth, Devon. Grandmother to Susan NORMAN b. 1852 Christchurch, Middlesex. Living in Spitalfields, Middlesex.

Residence:
The Highway, formerly known as the Ratcliffe Highway, is a mile-long road in the East End of London, with several historic landmarks nearby. The route dates back to Roman times. In the 19th century it had a very notorious reputation for vice and crime and was the site of the infamous Ratcliff Highway murders. The name 'Ratcliffe' literally means 'Red Cliff', referring to the red sandstone cliffs which descended from the plateau on which the road was situated down to the Wapping Marshes to the south.

Location

The Highway runs west-east from the eastern edge of The City to Limehouse. It is parallel-to and south of Commercial Road, the Docklands Light Railway and Cable Street. It connects East Smithfield and the Limehouse Link tunnel.

The road forms an unofficial boundary to Wapping, which lies between the River Thames and The Highway. The road is also close to Shadwell Basin (to the south east), Tower Hill (to the west), and Whitechapel and Stepney (to the north).

The Highway is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in postal district E1. It lies within the parliamentary constituencies of Bethnal Green and Bow and Poplar and Canning Town.
[edit] History

The Ratcliffe Highway was most probably, originally a Roman Road, running east from the City of London along the top of a plateau near the edge of the eponymous 'red cliff' which descended onto the low lying tidal marshes of Wapping to the south.

A Roman bath house was excavated in 2004, by the junction of The Highway and Wapping Lane. The discovery of women's jewellery along with soldiers' possessions, suggests that this location outside of the Roman walls allowed less restricted use of the baths than those in the City itself. The remains of the baths and under-floor heating system were re-buried (for later archaeologists) under the car park of the new flats.

By 1908, Ratcliff Highway had different names for each of its sections. From west to east these ran: "St. George's Street East", "High Street (Shadwell) ", "Cock Hill", "Broad Street. The whole of the central area of The Highway was named after St George in the East church and its parish.
