Hi . this is my first posting to this list so I hope I am asking an appropriate question. I have been trying to locate the following addresses for my linen draper ancestor: 1841 - Newington House, High St, Hackey, West Hackney, Tower Hamlets (HO 107/700/1/38/21) (Other addresses on the pages either side were Draper’s Court, (or Lovelace Court), Bryants Court (off Whiston Rd?) & London House) 1844 - No. 7 Providence Row, in the parish of St John, Hackney, at present, and for twelve months past, residing at High Street Stoke Newington, in the parish of West Hackney. So is this two or three different addresses - High St (now Kingsland High Street?), followed by a move north up the same High St (now Stoke Newington High Street); then to 7 Providence Row ‘in the parish of St John, Hackney’? I understand that No. 189 (Stoke Newington) High Street was restored in 1982 “as Newington House” but this would imply that the name had only then been coined for that building, rather than being known as Newington House since the 1840s .. or perhaps this is the building my ancestor was in at the time of the 1841 Census? According to Pigot’s Directory (1824) “Providence Row, top of New road, to Hackney” but I’m still not sure where that is. The Lockie’s Topography of London (1810) that I viewed has one blank page - that for Providence Row! I have also tried searching the Booth Maps (1898) for these addresses but get disoriented easily without reference to a larger map or some local knowledge. I have not had a reply from the Hackney Archives so if anyone could point me in the right direction to find these addresses nowadays that would be appreciated.
