I'm having a bit of a problem! Some of my ancestors have 'St Andrews' down as place of birth on census, and I'm trying to determine which one it refers to! I have another possible family member which says 'St Andrews Middlesex'. The family lived generally in Bethnal Green, east London area and I'm thinking it may be St Andrews, Holborn, which is just east of the city (I think?). Does anyone know of another St Andrews parish? (I've ruled out St Andrew Underhsaft and St Andrew by the Wardrobe as these are definitely in the city). Any help appreciated! Sheila x

Do you have Parloc downloaded? It has been invaluable for me in looking for London parishes: www(.)parloc(.)pwp(.)blueyonder(.)co(.)uk/ParLoc(.)htm Sarah
