my ggrandmother was born 1863 and married 1881. Her father was deceased by this time after having been, as family history goes, disinherited by his father for having married below his rank. Eliza may very likely have had a brother Walter

wow so quick,
Thank you very much.
I suppose John and wife were also born in Islington.
I'll now try and find the nearest pub from there!

no delete Islington

I don't need a pub do I

Not finding John in 1861 or earlier at all for sure.
sorry.
Next step may be walter or elizas birth cert for mums maiden name.

Pubs in islington are not hard to find
I used to drink in one on holloway road many years ago.
But a senior moment {or the drink}has robbed me of its name at the moment.
