Hi all Does anyone know how I can find out when John Street in Hackney became Vyner Street? All I can find online is that the name was changed but I don't know when. Thanks Lynne

Would "Victorian A-Z Street Index" help? It can be found at www.gendocs(.)demon(.)co(.)uk(.). Lots of interesting information. Best of luck - Pat
