Sorry folk, I think I must be in need of new specs, or a brain transplant.

Can make all of this one out except the last 1/2 word (s)

Walter Pallett, burial. ( Water on Ancestry )

Burial Feb. 1647. ( Feb 28th )

St. Mary Whitechapel, Tower Hamlets.

A man out of Lox??????

Looks like it could be Loxford in which case there is something after that.

I am flummoxed, any help gratefully received, thank you. M

Hi Gwyn, it does look like it starts with a Lox, I agree.

Can find nothing that starts with Lox and ends with Yard though !!

I can find a Horsehoe Alley in Whitechapel though. M

If you google

Whitechapel "head yard"

It shows a Boars Head Yard.

Chris

Edit...I don't think it is an 'x' if you compare with other 'r's on the page and in 'yard'.

Hi Chris, got Boars Head Yard, it is the only other one, apart from a Nags Head and it doesn't look anything like a Nag !! M

Hi Chris, I think that is what I am going to go for.

Have looked at pages each side and every time it is pretty much unreadable. M

Looks like they used to put on plays there, in the courtyard, from 1557.

By 1861 the area is described as having about twenty avenues, containing thousands of closely packed nests full to overflowing with dirt and misery and rags.

Children eating and playing and sleeping in the streets whilst their parents mope in cellars and garrets and their grand parents huddle and die in the same miserable dustbins .

Boars Head Yard is in the heart of this melancholy district.

I dread to think what is was like two hundred years earlier. M
