Hi there, was fascinated to see this piece about Tubby Isaacs, as its a myth in my family that Tubby was a relative of my families… original name, Isaacs, then turned Godfrey-Isaacs in the 50’s, but see Tubby’s name Isaac was not a surname. My grandfather, Godfrey Isaacs originally worked in Billingsgate fish market and lived in Mare Street Hackney, before making his fortune in paper and moving to Ealing! would love to get a copy of the old pictures to circulate to my family if you could send onto me? thanks, Laura x
