Squeezed hard between two modern buildings is St Michael Cornhill, with history dating back to 1055. Burnt down in the fire of 1666 this building dates from about 1722, although some of its magnificent bells date from 1421.
It is located near Leadenhall Market where the streets are named after the trades that operated there.

Margaret Creagh married Anthony Isaacson
Anthony Isaacson, was Collector of Customs for the Port of Newcastle. He married Margaret in 1707 at St Bride Church, Fleet Street London
.St Bride's Church is a church in the City of London, England. The building's most recent incarnation was designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1672 in Fleet Street in the City of London, though Wren's original building was largely gutted by fire during the London Blitz in 1940.
British History Online has many entries regarding Anthony and his work as Collector of Customs of Newcastle port
Margaret and Anthony numerous children, but unfortunately most died very young.

+Elizabeth Isaacson b 1723 d 1725
*William Isaacson b 1725 d 1770 m (his cousin) Jane Isaacson
Their children married their cousins, just to make research even more difficult!
Margaret died in 1732
In 1734 he purchased the property Fenton in Durham, when he died in 1746 the property was left to his eldest daughter. Perhaps after her mother's death she was his housekeeper.
In 1742 he was the High Sheriff of Northumberland.
In the Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Chronicle 1832 Vol 102 Part 1, a Mr John Bell of Gateshead writes that if anyone is researching Anthony and John Isaacson he would be happy to share the pedigree!
He goes on to say the he is searching for the pedigree of Sir William Creagh, a personal friend of James II! Friends in high places indeed!
Quite interesting, 201 years later, and with the help of the internet and lots of old manuscripts, those details are now part of our history.
Sarah Creagh b 1684
Sarah Creagh did not seem to marry and around 1711 she was in London with her brother.
Sarah died in 1747
Mary Creagh b 1689
Mary Creagh was born in 1689 and she married Dominic Archdeacon a merchant from Cork.
