Mare street Hackney

[kerryanne]

Hi
I would like to know if anybody has a photograph of 92 Mare street hackney

I visited hackney a few weeks ago and the house had just been demolished
my great grandmother Edith Eliza Ripper aged 10 lived there in 1891 with her grandmother Mary Ann Ripper ( nee griffin ) b 1836  and her soon to be husband Charles Sutton

There is a pub directly opposite 92 mare street  is now called the London fields this is also my profile picture. It was  formerly known as the Warburtons arms

Have you tried Hackney Library ?

They claim to have a lot of Hackney archive material including photographs and old newspapers from the locality.

I agree - many libraries and museums are very happy to help those who are unable to visit in person.  I live about 100 miles from where my family comes from, and I've found the local museum most accomodating when I emailed them.

Thanks for the link Sylviaann - I found some great pictures of Homerton which will help to put flesh on the bones of research I'm doing for rellies in Aus.

Now, I wonder, do Bermondsey, Stepney and Lambeth have similar sites?

[Sylviaann]

It's funny isn't it that most of the sites I have in my favourites for London no longer exist.

I find that if you do a search for the street that interests you and look at images something usually turns up.

Sorry i can't help
