PARISH REGISTERS
& RECORDS
All the registers from the closed churches which were once within the
parish, and non-current registers from St George-in-the-East, are
deposited at the London
Metropolitan Archive (formerly known as the
Greater London Records Office), 40 Northampton Road, London EC1R 0HB,
tel 020 7332 3820, which should be approached directly for enquiries.
They are very helpful, and the records have been digitised. Click here
to
contact them by email. (There is a letter of 1958 enclosed in one of
the registers from an American attorney offering rewards of between $25
and $100 for various names - one of several thousand he claimed to have
sent. This obviously predates the world-wide web and the scanning of
registers by Mormons and others!)
The
only burial record held by the parish is a calligraphic list - a copy
from the duplicate book lists of the London Necropolis Company - of the
686 boxes and lead coffins removed from the crypt and reburied at
Brookwood Cemetery between 11 October and 9 November 1960 - click image right to view.
However, the parish archives do contain copies of typed transcripts of
many of the early marriage registers (names and dates only), made by
LMA in the 1970s. These would only be useful if the registers in
question have deteriorated since they were made.
Two former daughter churches - St Mary Cable Street (Johnson Street)
and St Peter London Dock (Wapping) - are separate parishes
with
their own registers, and should be contacted directly.
