Hi Hilary could you look up any of the SHIRLEY family - ideally looking for Charles & Rebecca. They may also have been in Shoreditch.. Thanks Dawn

Yvonne, No Thomas Little in 1811 although there is an unnamed Little in Greenwood Row. 1821 has a Thomas at Bells Yard, Hackney Church St who was a Shoemaker. (In case you didn't know this was a big business around there.) He lived in a house that had three families. In his family there were 4 males and 6 females. He was still there in 1831 but is either on his own or the rest have been mistranscribed. No Cambells anywhere!

Susan, No William Hyatt's but I have found a David Hyatt in 1831 at Albion Cottages (SN Rd Shacklewell). I don't know what SN stands for.

Martin, No Etherton's around. The closest name is EMMERTON and he was a Carter of Morning Lane both in 1811 and 1831.

Hi Hilary, Would you please look up the name HYATT in Hackney for me? I don't have christian names for that far back but William is a regular one thro' the line. Thank's Sue Corbett. 'TorontoCanada'

Hi Hilary, Could you check for the name Etherton in Hackney 1811... Many Thanks Martin

Enjoy!

Many thanks Hilary, for the HINTON lookup. I like to think of it as a positive! At least I know where they aren't ! Once again, thanks for taking the time to look. It was much appreciated.

Hi Hilary, Be grateful if you could do a couple of look ups for me please. I have a Matthew Kelley (or Kelly) born c1802, and his wife Mary Ann Bishop Thanks a lot, Brenda

For KATHLEEN: 1811 - Nothing 1821 - I don't have the H's 1831 - No Hinton's but there is a HILTON, William of Wood Street, Upper Clapton - Brickmaker Sorry - it doesn't sound so good for you.

Hi Hilary, are there any HINTON family members there? Looking for Job HINTON b abt 1817, son of Thomas and Mary. But I would be glad to find any - especially if they are brushmakers as this seems to be the occupation for the men. Many thanks Kathy

Thank you very much for the Hardys - some of them look promising - wonder if the 'gentlemen' are mine! Kind regards Helen

Hi Hilary Many thanks for looking for the Humphreys and Woodfords for me I am very grateful. Susan

For SUSAN DUKE: 1811 Hackney: Only an unnamed WOODFORD at 'Roadside, living as an inmate in house of M Ramsden' - No occupation given Only a Thomas HUMPHRIES at Orchard Street - Painter 1821: No Woodfords & I don't have book with H's in. 1831: GEORGE 'HUMPHRIES' - Grove Lane, Hackney Church St, 4 labourers in household, no others. WILLIAM 'HUMPHRIES' - Castle Street, Kingsland, 1 labourer with 8 in household So these look more promising!

For HELEN MIDDLETON: 1811 Hackney: (List of household heads) HARDY or HANDY? ANN, Morning Lane - Laundress HARDY SAMUEL, Trafalgar Place - Gentleman HARDY THOMAS, Trafalgar Place - Gentleman HARDY C, Well Street - No occupation given HARDY THOMAS, Cottages on Common:Brook Side - Labourer I don't have H's in 1821 1831, HARDY H, Stamford Hill back of Weavers Arms Public House - Gentleman HARDY JAMES, Homerton Terrace Morning Lane - Gentleman HARDY THOMAS, Buccleugh Terrace Clapton East Side - No occupation given HARDY WILLIAM, Hartwell Street - Shoemaker living with 4 people (Note - the others in 1831 appear to be living alone)

Hi Hilary, Thank you for your very kind offer - could you look to see if there is a listing for either George Woodford or for George James Humphreys or his father William Humphreys all born in Hackney between 1800 and 1820. Many thanks. Susan

Thank you very much for looking Hilary but I can't tie any of those names up with my Harris family at the moment (unless they are the unnamed ones!). Wonder where the Hogarths were...? I wonder if you could try to find any records of Hardys from the same area at any time, I'm looking for a Susan Hardy? Many thanks Helen

Hi Hilary Thanks for that I have contacted Lauretta to see if our RICKMANS are the same family. Thanks again for your time Janice
