ABSTRACT
WHAT we found on the housing estate does not detract from the sharpness of the conclusion we reached in the borough: it rather confirms the influence of residence upon kinship. In the city, couples usually live close to their relatives, and particularly to the wife's parents. At Greenleigh the family is, by the standards of Bethnal Green, isolated not only from kin but, it appears, from fellow residents as well. A new residence, a new life.
