I've just reread Jennifer's initial post - here's what I should have said first off, just in case it happens again. |

As you said - the staff were very helpful but the christening record was not. It didn't say any more than the ancestry.com record i.e names of parents and baby -dates of birth and christening. Oh well - i had a nice day in London! |

I`ve visited Westminster Archives myself a couple of times...its about a fifteen minute walk from Victoria station...staff very helpful, and all Parish records on microfilm,some with surname index so you don`t have to trail through pages and pages. |

I phoned the Westminster Archives and they said I should come and check their records myself. I'm going to have to go up there and just hope that ,if I find the certificate, it will carry some clues that will alllow me to identify my ancestor! Don't you love genealogy? |

Nicky - what Jennifer checked was the batch #s. Most films have not been extracted to the IGI, and this is true of the several St James's registers found in the LDS library catalog |

The original records for St James are held at the Westminster Archives in London........information on baptism records varies, as well as parents names and childs you sometimes get an address {road or place name] and occupation of father, but not always. |

I have found a christening record on Ancestry.com that may be relevant to my family tree. I can't see the original record online however. The citation reads : Place: Westminster, Collection: St James, Date range 1723-1786. Film number 1042308. Does anyone know where I could see the original records and does anyone have any idea whether or not they would contain more than just mother and father's name and child's name and DOB? |
