Hackney Gazette
Would love to see some of the local London papers. The Hackney Gazette in the early 1900s is of particular interest to me.

On 21 August 1971, Special Branch and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) raided a flat at 359 Amhurst Road, Hackney as part of their investigations into the Angry Brigade.
The Angry Brigade was a far-left terrorist group said to be responsible for a series of bomb attacks in England between 1970 and 1972.

I would very much like you to add later copies up to 1960 which I am sure would be of great interest to your readers.

I am looking for the baptism of a James thomas Garner in or about 1911/2. His father was Henry Garner, according to his marriage in 1928 to Harriet Louisa Edgeworth. He doesn't appear to have been registered at birth. In 1921 he give his age commensurate with the age at marriage, making his birthdate 1911 but in 1951 he gives his age indicating he was born 1931 in Stratford. Would be grateful for any information which may help or eliminate other James GarnersADAMS

Hello, was looking for information on HARWOOD, Sarah. She married Louis John Carter in September 1903 at St Luke's Hackney, and her father is put as John Henry HARWOOD a Chairmaker. A Sarah Harwood, 1, also turns up in the 1881 census with her father John and mother Sarah in 7 Thurlow pl, Hackney, whilst another Sarah Harwood turns up in 1891 and 1901 with her father John a Chairmaker and mother Alice. This Sarah Harwood is the same age and also Hackney. The marriage between Sarah and Louis was witnessed by HARWOOD, Robert, presumably a brother or uncle. In the 1901 census, there's a sibling Robert. And he's also in the 1891 census. A Robert Harwood does not turn up in the 1881 census, although this Robert Harwood would have been too Young anyway. It's likely that Sarah was the daughter of John and Alice, and the 1881 census was either another Sarah or was a mistake in the record archive. Certainly there's no record of a John Harwood marrying a Sarah anything within the local area at a reasonable time frame to their kids' respective ages and the records aren't written by the actual people but by an archivist reading the census responses and thus it's possible they wrote Sarah as the mother by mistake. With that being said, all this is a very weird family tree branch as its really quite contradictory. All that we know is that Sarah 1880-1953 Harwood was the daughter of a Chairmaker John and either Sarah or Alice and that she married Louis in 1903. Louis was the son of John and Elizabeth and that family tree is easy. Any help with Sarah would be appreciated thank you.
