London Metropolitan Archives Guide to Major Family History Resources Index of Parishes How to use this guide London Generations is a guide to our major family history sources and currently includes the following types of records: Anglican parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials for around 800 parishes within the former counties of London and Middlesex; Bishops transcripts of parish registers; Anglican parish Poor Law registers; non-conformist baptism and marriage registers; land tax assessments; admission and creed registers for workhouses run by Boards of Guardians; London County Council School admission and discharge registers and electoral registers for the counties of London and Middlesex. This is an index to the parishes in the London area and the location of the records. It contains an alphabetical listing of the parish with its address and the date ranges of the registers for that Church, if known. In addition, you will find an entry for where the registers are located (either at LMA or elsewhere if we are aware of its location) and the name of the current London Borough or County within which the parish can be found. If the records are held at LMA, there should also be a listing giving the reference code for the registers of the parish. You can find more information about LMA’s holdings for that area using the borough guides. The list is correct at the time of publication, but please remember that the information may change over time as newer registers are deposited or become available. Many of the registers held at LMA have now been digitised and are available online at www.ancestry.
