Can someone give me an idea of where people who used the Threadneedle St. church would have been buried in the 1680-1800 period? I have been unable to find wills of any of my huguenot family in the PCC wills index- did London huguenots tend to use the smaller London courts more often than the PCC to prove wills?

My impression is that the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) handled mainly the larger estates and those that had land in more than one jurisdiction. The Phillimore Atlas will tell you which local court would have had jurisdiction for the others. Regards, Howard [email protected]
