Daren't ask my husband (who is good at geography) this because he is fed up of being an internet widower! Does anyone know where St Olave is? It may be a defunct name now but I have noticed it listed as a birth place for some of the potential rellies I have been searching. Might it be in Devon or Cornwall? Thanks Abigail

There's a St Olaves on the Norfolk broads but whether that's the same as St Olave, I don't know.
