I have the following marriage certificate. http://www.sepree.com/odds/JohnMarriage.jpg I need help with the 1st line. It is supposed to be St Mary's Islington. Is that correct? I seem to be able to read "House Rise" in there too and I assume that scribble is "Parish of Islington" And then there is their addresses. 11 Shadwell Road? The Hollies Holly Park Can someone please confirm this or correct me. Any idea where these addresses were? Ive looked on Stanfords map of London for 1878 but not seen anything promising. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jeremy

I go along with Val ........... Shadwell road Islington was renamed see here; "The Parish of Saint Mary Islington had constructed a workhouse on Liverpool Road in 1776, after the passing of a Local Act. This meant that it did not come under the juridsiction of the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act. The Board of Guardians was not constituted for the parish of St Mary Islington until 1867. A new workhouse was subsequently constructed on Saint John's Road in Upper Holloway. An infirmary was also built on Highgate Hill, on the site of the Highgate Smallpox Hospital which had been moved. An infant's school was constructed on Hornsey Road in 1853. In 1895 Islington also purchased a disused workhouse on Shadwell Road (later Cornwallis Road) to use as an overflow institution.
