Unfortunate abode on parish registers
I received my username and password for the Sussex Family History Group this morning and have been having a look around.
I'm finding baptisms for some children I have previously found on the census. There are 2 families with the same parents names at one point. The other family live in an area called Slut's Hole.   It's OH's family so I can't decide if I'm glad or not that it doesn't belong in the family.

oh Jill, it is awful a name like that survived so long. I'm glad the road changed it's name eventually.
I think Slut's Hole had a name change or the family moved. I can't remember the name but they ended up at a place called (a female name) Hole. So some improvement. Slut does have a bad meaning in England as well as Australia? ... and yes I have access to the Sussex records now. OH now has a 5g grandfather Thomas and a surnameless 5g grandmother Lucy.

Not as disgraceful, but my ancestors once had the very undesirable address of "Old Burying Ground"!

There's still a road in Leicester called "Holy Bones". Not all that far from where Richard III was found, funnily enough.
