London BMD's 1530-1812

[PrueM]

Hi Sylvia,

The only thing I can think of for "NGL" would be a "L"ane than had a long name that the clerk couldn't be bothered writing out - I notice that a few people on the same pages as your fellow have the same notation.  Possibly "New Gravel Lane" - it features in a list of old London streets as being in St Paul's Shadwell (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hitch/gendocs/lonstr_n.html).  Not sure if it was in existence in 1760 but I'm sure someone else will know.

Cheers
Prue

P.S.  Cross posted with your findings   Glad I wasn't too far off the mark!

Cheers

hi,

try the surname as natrass and the letters NCL (for Newcastle) as that surname is prevalent in that region.
