Ah ha, Grannie, I have had the same problem. All these London districts have parishes named after a church and sometimes the bloody church is not even in the parish, or even more common, the church has been pulled down but the parish is still named after it. I have just had one where my relative was actually a priest in a London Parish but it no longer exists. I have had to contact Lambeth Palace to find him - only to find that he is not my relative at all. Oh, so much work for nothing. |

Thank you all so much.Was very disappointed finding nothing.I know for definate that most of them were Holborn.In the Archives today when i looked they only cover St Andrews at Holborn.The rest including Clerkenwell must be Guildhall. Annie |

A lot of mine are from the Clerkenwell, Finsbury, St Lukes, St Andrew area. I found what was probably a family of mine at the London Met but needed to confirm a possible later marriage of a son to confirm the link. When I asked the staff it turns out that to find the later information (I think it was from 1860s) I had to go to another place (Family records centre??). I haven't given up but I have given that line a long rest. |

A lot of my mothers ancestors were born in the Shoreditch area. One of them reads. Where born: St Lukes, Middlesex, England. Civil parish St. Leonards. Street address 20 Shap St. Registration district Shoreditch. Sub registration district Haggerston. Just a stones throw from Bethnal Green, I believe, where my great grandfather was born. |
