Does anyone have data relating to the rearangement of Administrative Boundaries of the Counties, Districts and Parishes into Greater London from the surrounding Counties.

In working through my family tree I have found many people who lived in the London parts of Essex and Middlesex. From what I have found so far they first settled in Mile End Old Town a year or two before the 1841 census and mostly stayed around the East End until they started to spread South of the Themes and into Kent about the time of WW1.

I'm getting confused with the changes that occured and locating addresses within those areas.

One potential source I have heard of but can't find was a "Poverty map of London" made about the middle of the 19th century. There was also an update created at the end of the 19th Century.

Any and All help welcome.
