Caroline Easter Reffell

The consonants in the middle of that surname are s's, not f's, Libby, because only the first of the two is f-shaped, like in the word "Brass" in the Occupation column a few lines further down.

Ah well, it worth a try.

I too considered Greek St but cannot find a reference to it in 1841, also it wouldn't be in the parish of St George Bloomsbury.

I'm struggling to think where Henry and Caroline lived which could have been misheard by the vicar,

Greek Street is in St Anne Soho, so that's the next parish to Bloomsbury. The 1841 index says it is in piece 730, book/district 1 and starts on page 2. A quick search for a Caroline with those details on Ancestry doesn't yield anything promising, but you could trawl the street fairly easily.

I've just found GRESSE STREET, it is only half a mile from St George's Bloomsbury.

That's St Pancras rather than Bloomsbury according to the index - piece 686, book 2 in 1841.

Yes, but it's the only street name I can find which sounds like GREECE and is anywhere near St George's.

Googling brought up a mention from the London Gazette in 1846 of "Greece-street, Tottenham-court-road", and Gresse Street is off a street which is off Tottenham Court Road, while Greek Street is very close too.
Also Connected Histories has a mention of a J Rowney, 2 Greece-street, from 1840 but I can't view the actual image on there to check it.
