Clare I have just been on that site and the maps on there are great. All my rellies come from Hackney and Bethnal Green and I found a lot of the streets they lived in. Gwen

Thanks Helen Funnily enough I just googled it to include Kingsland Road and found a titanic survivor, who lived there when my rellies did!! I think I will need to do a trip to Hackney LO anyway as most of my rellies were born in this area! Thanks for the help Claire

You can try googling, but I doubt if you would find much. You'd need to contact Hackney Archives http://www.hackney.gov.uk/ca-archives as they would have info about this road and possibly photos. It appears to have been in the Kingsland Road area. nell

Hi all I'm trying to find out about Ware St, East London, Where my great grandmother was born in 1890. I believe it would now come under Hackney/ Shoreditch I think is was destroyed during WW2 and therefore no longer exists, I know that Queen Mary visited this road in 1922 and I believe it also had a work house. Can anyone recommend some websites that may have any information on this road? Thanks Claire
