St Margaret Westminster - second edition out now

Description

Out now is our revised, updated and expanded list of the main records of interest to the genealogical researcher for the area based on the ancient parish of St Margaret Westminster, which includes Downing Street, St John Smith Square, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall and a large detached area around Knightsbridge. This parish was known as St Margaret & St John from 1728-1922 and this was the name of our previous booklet. This new edition has an extra 28 pages and we feel the new name shows better the area covered, which was in the county of Middlesex but is now in the City of Westminster London Borough. We have much expanded the sections on the parochial burial grounds, court and prison records and schools and included ones about fire insurance and civil registration. Apart from the vital records of the various religious denominations, examples of subjects covered in this booklet are military matters, Parliamentary archives and the streets in the area in 1851. Details include where these records can be found, whether they are original hard-copy records, transcriptions in books, or on the internet. This 100-page A5 illustrated LWMFHS booklet is part of our ongoing series of Parish Research Guides.
