What exactly are you looking for in the Pentonville Rd, Islington ?   What time scale ?

If you have access to a London  A-Z ( look in your local library) you will see that Pentonville road is an extremely long road running from Kings Cross to City Road.   If you are thinking in terms of pre WW2 you must remember that this area suffered greatly in the blitz & some parts today can bear no resemblance to earlier years.

Have you no further info on what you are seeking as without it, it is difficult to help you.  ?

Hi sorry about vague message ,tracing my family I went from Bedford back to Newmarket  back toIslington in about 1800s ACKY

[Meliora]

Are you  looking for any particular name ?    For instance, in the censuses, as 1800s is not is an awfully long time without having a timeframe to work on.

Or are you just curious as to the sort of people living in Pentonville Rd. ?   If so, the best thing to do is look up the road in any of the census years, scroll thro' to see the people & their occupations, be aware that Pentonvile is a very long road & may not be all in one census piece no, so will  take quite a time to work thro'

Hello, acky,

This what I have been able to find for your Benjamin Isaacs.   It has been a bit confusing as the family does not seem to be so sure about the name for Benjamin's wife nor where they were born.   There were clues that needed following thro' & searching, but the marriage at the end of the info gives one answer.

Richd  son  age 17  Porter  b  St George's Middsx
Elizabeth  dau  age 13  with her mother  b   ditto
Anne  dau age 8   b  Dorking.

The 1871 census showing Mary Feist being born in Durham is possibly a mistake bt the enumerator mis-hearing Dorking, & you can see where the confusion was with the name of Elizabeth Mary being Benjamin's wife.
The 1861 & '51 census showing Benjamin being born in Westmister are a bit suspect but on the 1891 census he has put Strand which is also in Westminster.

Hope this has all been of use,

Hi Acky,

During my search for FEIST's I found one Charles FEIST at the Crown Public House at 116 Cloudesley Islington. He's on page 877 of the PO London Directory for 1910. Hope this is of use.

I'm after a FEIST (I presume female) who had a Confection/Tobacconist's shop c1910.
