St Mildred Poultry was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1666, rebuilt, sold in 1872, then demolished. St Mary Colechurch was united to St Mildred Poultry in 1670.* Both were united to St Olave Old Jewry in 1871, and to St Margaret Lothbury in 1886. Parish records are in the Guildhall Library: baptisms 1538-1870, marriages 1538-1871, banns 1756-65 and 1792-1870, burials 1538-1852. For later baptisms, marriages and banns see St Olave Jewry. A partial index to baptisms and marriages 1538-1870 is in the IGI. Only one Combs entry is in the index:
