Somewhere in Derbyshire?
« on: Sunday 27 March 22 17:22 BST (UK) »
Hi,  this marriage from 1603 is in Horsley, Derbyshire.  I think the bride Helena is from Horsley.
But can anyone decipher where the groom might be from, please? It doesn't look t0 me like Horsley, and my maps aren't giving any clues.
Thanks.

It looks like Alestrye, so as you're thinking it's in Derbyshire I'd hazard a guess at Allestree.

That certainly looks a good possibility.  And not too far from where he married.
Many thanks for your help.
