(1.24 mi. north of city centre), London |
St Matthew Friday Street (1.24 mi. due north of City Centre)was destroyed by the Great Fire in 1666, rebuilt, sold 1881, demolished in 1885. It was united to St Vedast Foster Lane in 1882. Parish records are in the Guildhall Library: marriages 1814-36, burials 1813-46. Registers for baptisms, marriages and burials 1538-1812 (marriages with St Peter Westcheap from circa 1699) were destroyed and and baptisms for 1813-82 partially destroyed in 1940. A partial index to baptisms and marriages 1538-1875 is in the IGI. Only one IGI record has been found in this parish (1998):
28 Sep 1578 Christened: Mary COMBES, d/o Robert COMBES (IGI, Ba: P001501, So: 845244, Pr: 0453495, source not yet viewed)Who were the above Richard COMBS and Joseph STACY? See also the pre-1605 marriage of Anna COMBS, d/o Edward of Stratford, Warwickshire, to Rob'tus DECONS (DEACON?). Given the inclusion of the PALMERS (Which were the above?) and of Richard STOCKE (See York County, Virginia), further knowledge of the WADE and Associated family could be of great importance - to either the Archdale-Combs-Palmer Families who, like Nathaniel WADE, were Drapers, or to the Warwickshire Combs-Deacon-Palmer Families (or were they the same?)
30 Nov 1578 Christened: Nathaniel WADE, s/o Thomas WADE. (FamilySearch.Org)
