Edith Perrin, Sarah Wainman, & Richard Oxinden in Lambeth

Following the death of Elizabeth Dallison, Sarah Wainman, her former maid, lived in Lambeth, at the house of Edith Perrin, and sometimes with relatives some distance from London.^[1] Richard Oxinden appears to have joined them in Lambeth, following the London fire of 1666, which presumably had destroyed his house. He probably resided in the same house.

He wrote to Sir George Oxenden relating that "I am at present w:th my Cozon Perimoure ye ?Master at Lambeth here is allso yo:s & yo:e never to be forgotten Sister Dallysons old faithfull servant Sarah Waynman."^[2] The location of the Lambeth house or houses is unknown.

In the late 1650s Edith Perrin had been living near Ludgate Hill in the house of Tobell Aylmer, with whom she was probably related. Elizabeth Dallison and Sarah Wainman had also been lodgers, as was the Gray's Inn lawyer, Edward Kelke.^[3] Sometime in the early 1660s Elizabeth Dallison and Sarah Wainman had moved to Throgmorton Street near the Exchange, probably as lodgers, near to the home of Sir George Smith, who was also resident on Throgmorton Street.
