The book was 'officially launched' by Geoff Taylor,Councillor for
Victoria ward on the Hackney Council who in his launch handed over a copy of his own book concerned with South Hackney, ‘Parish in Perspective’. All in all it was good day with a tour of relevant areas of South Hackney in the morning led ably by local guide, John Finn. Descendants from four of the nine children of James Thurgood Ison Sr were present for the launch. One, Rachel Marrington, led us on a walking tour of parts of Bethnal Green after a lunch and launch at the The Royal Inn on the Park in South Hackney.
