Colebrook Row is, I believe, just off City Road at the Angel Islington. The 1901 census shows; 4 Colebrook Row. Frances STOCK head widower 52 living on own means Barnstaple Devon G ??? ' dau. single 27 upholsterer Islington Helen ' ' ' 21 ' ' Florence ' ' ' 15 mantle maker ' Henry ' son 12 scholar ' Sarah WILLIAMS head ' 32 umbrella maker Islington Fanny ' sister ' 35 Umbrella maker ' the images are faint in places but I think this is right.

My brother in law used to work in Cole Brook Row. It's a very small turning. I can't remember all the name of the streets now, but from memory it's just off the main road at the bottom of Chapel Street Market (the opposite side to the market). If you still can't find it, let me know and I'll look out the name of the relevant streets for you. Jan

It is specifically the house. My mother lived in Cole Brook Row in the 1920's and I have discovered her great grandfather also lived there, according to 1881 census. The link to the image is wrong so I can't have a good look at neighbours etc to see if there are any other family members living in or around - but you're right - I'll have another look at 1891 etc to see if I can find a way in this way.

I have found the family I want to view in Islington. They are at 4 Cole Brook Row according to the 1881 census but when I try to look at the actual image it is the wrong place. This is on Ancestory - I have e-mailed them. My question is - is there any other way of seeing the image - or finding who lives in Cole Brook Row in 1891 or 1001?
