London and Middlesex / Re: Islington workhouse-St.John's road

Many thanks Valda,
Looking at the map of the registration area for Islington East at the time, it would appear that area is way to the North of St John Street, in what is now Highbury and Finsbury Park.

14 St John Street is virtually in Smithfield market! Sadly number 14 is now a modern single storey Italian restaurant unlike its grand old town house neighbours.

How could birth here be registered as Islington East? (Has there been a change in compass since 1879)  :D

Hi All,
Apologies for butting in, but I'm trying to find 14 St Johns Road Islington (in 1879) - "Islington East" sub-district.
It sounds from all these posts as though you might know where it is...?
The nearest spot I could find was in South Tottenham, just off the A503 but its miles from Islington, though number 14 does look like a very old spot!

Have I found the right St Johns road, or was the real one totalled in the Blitz?

Ted
