Where was St Albets?
« on: Thursday 03 February 11 11:12 GMT (UK) »
Grateful for help please!
I have a Spa Fields burial record for George Loosley, St Albets dated 16 March 1790.  This is further back than I normally get  ;D and I have never come across anything mentioning St Albets (or even St Alberts) before.
Does anyone know where this was?
Thank you!

Is it the name of the church? Could it be St Albans?

No, Jan, it is very clearly written.  There were Loosleys all over Finsbury, Clerkenwell, Hoxton and Shoreditch in later years but never with a St Albans connection.

The surrounding entries are mostly St Andrews Holborn, a few St Sepulchre and St Bride, St Giles and St Martins in the Fields, and just plain Clerkenwell.  It could be a church, an area or a specific place.

I've never heard of this and am sure its a misreading.  Where is the original?

Has this been deciphered yet?

If not, post a snippet so that more people can have a look and try to help.

Thanks Dawn - It is clearly St Albets and we can only think it is an error by clerk.  Any other info welcome!
