I have been looking on the newly indexed pre 1812 London PRs on Ancestry while I've been having lunch. Not too much to find because I've spent many hours already trawling the things. Have found a few promising looking things but have also found an unwanted burial which casts doubt on one of my lines and may wipe out a few generations back. Heyho - hope people have more luck than me (so far) :)
