william bashford (cooper) living at 3a ironmongers lane in the parish of st martin pomary . in 1666 at the time of the fire of london.
where is ironmongers lane ? nr st lawrence lane and king street .?


OK i admit its a long shot :)

St Michael Bassishaw no longer exists, the site is now underneath the Barbican. Ironmonger Lane still exists, see http://www.streetmap.co.uk/

My advice is to press on with conventional family history and eventually you'll come across these people, if they're ancestors.
