Sub-districts : Charlton; Plumstead East; Plumstead West; Woolwich; Woolwich Arsenal; Woolwich Dockyard. GRO volumes : 1d (1868-1930). Parishes in Kent (1868-89) & London (1889-1930): Charlton, Kidbrooke, Plumstead, Woolwich. Registers now in Greenwich district Perhaps the address from the 1891 was in Woolwich then but was reassigned to another district in London by 1901. Rose

	I've been trying to find an address (on Ancestry) in Woolwich on the 1901 census. When I search under London districts I can't find it, even though that's where it was listed in 1891. Where an I going wrong please?
