If the record is this old there is a good chance that some letters have been misread.

I only know that Babsfield was the abode when James Oliver, son of Moses Oliver, mariner, and Joan his wife, was baptised at St paul Shadwell on 26 April 1681 and that it was also the place given when Joan Oliver, wife of Mosses Oliver, was buried at the same parish a month later. But just where Babsfield was, is a mystery. Thanks again for the replies.
