Yes, you can use either Freebmd or Ancestry's civil reg and put Poplar in the district box. POPLAR REGISTRATION DISTRICT Registration County : London. Created : 1.7.1837. Sub-districts : Bow; Bromley; Poplar. GRO volumes : II (1837-51); 1c (1852-1930). Parishes in Middlesex (1837-89) & London (1889-1930): Bow, Bromley, Poplar. Registers now in Tower Hamlets district. It's generally classed under London, rather than Middlesex. nell

Roughly what decade(s) are we talking about - I'm happy to do a quick search on Ancestry's civil reg (same info as Freebmd, but quicker). nell

There are 104 Jeffries births in Poplar on Ancestry. If you've got some first names I could get the refs for you. nell
