What's the address?
« on: Wednesday 27 October 10 16:44 BST (UK) »
This is a burial from 1807. Helpfully the vicar was adding in occupations and addresses as he was recording the burials but what does it say after Sophia daughter of Charlotte Crossman? Looks to me like Pashfields Rents but that sounds like neither an address or occupation. I'm figuring seeing as Charlotte is a single mother that it likely to be an address not occupation.

If anyone wants a clearer image I found the burial in the London parish records on ancestry.

It seems it was a street name.
There is a reference to it in Google Books http://www.rootschat.com/links/0a78/
