Find Ancestors

Thanks for looking, Lynda.

Sorry again Chloe, nothing on Henry Buildings, or Immigration. Lynda

Hiya Zoe Nice to meet you Saturday. The book hs more Municipal buildings, libraries churches, cattle markets, even a farm! but not estates. I come from Islington, and there are some very grand houses there, and expect they would have had gardeners work for them Have you thought of a gardener in a park or church? Over the Road to my house there was a church, and across the Road a park, they had gardners there, or would they have been classed as labourers way back? Lynda

PS - anything on immigrants? German in particular?!?

My nana was born there in 1908, it was called Donegal Street Buildings! But in 1916 when her sister died, it was Henry Buildings. Thanks for looking. Chloe

Lynda I have an ancestor in Islington about 1800 - 1850 who's occupation is gardener. I've been told that a proper gardener would have worked in a big house rather than family gardens (then he would have been a labourer!!) If theres any clues as to whether there was a big estate etc then I'd be very grateful kiss kiss Z

Sorry Chloe no to both I'm afraid. Do you know what the buildings were called in Donegal Street, could be under that? Lynda

Anything on bakers in Islington? Pianoforte makers? Anything on Donegal Street Buildings?? Thanks Chloe

Purchased a book on Islington at the Family History Fair in London on Saturday, titled Islington Past. Got quite a lot of facts about the area. If you'd like me to look up anything about buildings that were there, or facts about Islington, would be pleased to look. It's not a large book, so may not have what you are looking for, but willing to look for you. Lynda
