IPT Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 My geographical knowledge of London is limited to certain dens of iniquity, however Islington War Memorial appears to be in Manor Gardens Rd, Holloway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 I believe there may be a plaque in the bus garage in Pemberton Gardens N19. If you want me to take a look I can as I work in Islington Maxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bagshaw Posted 11 October , 2013 Author Share Posted 11 October , 2013 Thank you both for the replies. Maxi that would be terrific if it's not too much trouble for you? I'm looking to see if a young chap Albert Edward Lewis may be listed. He lived in Penn Road Thank you both again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 11 October , 2013 Share Posted 11 October , 2013 I'd say this one is your best bet - It's got 1,300 names on it from the borough - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3371891 I haven't had any joy finding a list online, unfortunately.

maxi Posted 11 October , 2013 Share Posted 11 October , 2013 Anthony and Tom I am afraid the names you asked me to look for are not on this particular plaque. If you would like me to look up the names on any other Islington memorials, I am more than happy to do so. Maxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bagshaw Posted 14 October , 2013 Author Share Posted 14 October , 2013 Hi Maxi I am sorry for the delay in responding to you. Thank you for taking the time to look for me it really is most appreciated. Do you happen to know whether there are any other local sources that may be available which may mention Albert? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
