HELP! HELP!
I am having problem with James HARRISS my Great Grandfather (Census 1901) b: 1869 Sandburgh road, Holloway.
I have been in communication with Islington Local History Centre:
"Thank you for your enquiry regarding a street name in Holloway.
I am unable to find a Sandburgh Road in London in 1869. None is listed in the 1868 Metropolitan Board of Works index of streets, nor in the 1900 London County Council index. Looking at Islington in particular the 1871 census, and 1870 rate books do not list such a street.
May I ask, are you trying to decipher some cursive script? If it is a poor transcription might it possibly read Sonderburg Road? Sonderburg Road is in Holloway and first appears in trade directories in 1870, so we can assume was built sometime shortly before then.
Sorry not to be able to provide a more compelling answer"
The 1911 census states that BMH was married/living with EG for 2 years.
the last child born to BMH and JH was Bengamin Harriss b:1907 Clerkenwell.
