Looking at the image it's def Three Tuns, which I think is 39 Pennyfields in Poplar There could be Nuns involved , who knows with this family :)

Hi Fred, Just googled Three Nuns,All Saints,Poplar. Probably it was mistranscribed. Lots of different sites came up which would be more of what you are looking for. Hope it helps. Trish

I suppose anything is possible Fred :) I know there have been threads on amusing places of residence....Pig stys and others!!! But I wonder if it was possibly a room off a courtyard/stableyard in an old Coaching Inn? Chris

On the 1881 census I have a family's address as 'Inside entrance - Three Tuns' in All Saints in Poplar. Could this really be a pub doorway ? Any ideas anyone? Fred
