The registers of births, deaths and marriages for the parish churches within the Deanery of St Margaret are included within this section. However, the registers of St Giles-in-the-Fields and St Mary, Bourne Street are still in the care of their respective incumbents. Information Sheet 1 - Anglican Parish registers, lists full details of all the parish registers we hold.
The parish registers for those churches within the Deanery of Paddington and the Deanery of St. Marylebone, along with many other ecclesiastical records of these churches, are held at the London Metropolitan Archives.
The ecclesiastical parish records include not only the parish registers but also the records of the churchwardens and parochial church councils, parish charities, schools, clubs and societies.
The parish records are classified by the same parish codes detailed in Section 10.
