Here's the relevant page in that book for Robert Mills at Radcliff Highway. Ancestry have the book, so I did a quick search.

I've managed to check the Watchmakers book for more info and it lists the following:

Wright, S, 141 Ratcliiff Highway, 1820

Wright, Elizabeth, 141 Ratcliff Highway, 1825

There's a burial for Robert Mills of Ratcliff Highway in St George in the East in Oct 1792, age 47 so he was born about 1745. He could well be William's brother, which is another clue for me to follow up.

Thanks for looking Shona, I thought I'd exhausted everything online but it just shows how a fresh pair of eyes can help.

I'd heard about the Radcliff Highway murders, which sparked my interest. So searched 141 Radcliff Highway to give me the leads. Enjoyed the foray into East End life. Any old pocket watches in the attic, btw?

Sadly not!
