Susan, Although I feel sure this request is on the wrong list, I can understand some confusion regarding Wapping. I was thrown off the scent with one of my wife's ancestors born in Wapping, according to one census. When checked, later years gave the place as South Shields. Today Wapping remains a street parallel with the river near what was called Comical Corner. It's post code today is NE33 1LQ, No doubt some seafarers would know both Wappings. There's a Treby Street in that area of London, but that seems to have had another name before 1910. I was trying to think of any church near the Wapping in South Shields that might fit - but all my wife's relatives were christened or married at St Hilda. I'm satisfied this query will be answered by looking at the much larger Wapping by the Thames, not the Tyne.
