Hackney |
Much of the information on this page was provided by John Henley, who regularly answers questions on mailing lists about Middlesex parishes and churches.
For Hackney here is a list of all the Anglican churches in Hackney which
may be useful. As always, corrections most welcome. Hackney parish
(which, with Stoke Newington, ended up with 30 ecclesiastical parishes by
1890 - now 20) was a unit of civil government, in Middlesex until 1889,
then the new County of London; a Vestry until 1900, becoming the
Metropolitan Borough of Hackney , and then part of the London Borough of
Hackney in 1964. - The appropriate Godfrey Maps show
parish boundaries. This list of Hackney churches 1890 may help. with date
founded where known. St John at Hackney [do not confuse with St.John of
Jerusalem] is the original parent parish of all except Stoke Newington
parishes. I've tried to comment about their IGI status, but if you go to
www.familysearch.org and Browse > Browse Library Catalogue >
Placename Search [enter Hackney and select Paddington, Middlesex ] >
Church Records and Church Records-Indexes, you will see a list of all the
LDS film holdings. Batch numbers are at this site from NZ SoG Hamilton and
IGI Batch Numbers, Middlesex and London, places A to M and
IGI Batch Numbers, Middlesex and London, places N to Z provided by
Hugh Wallis.Some churches may appear on the BVRI rather than the IGI. If
on the IGI or BVRI then the LDS has a film of the registers.[which may
not be complete]. Dates of
creation of parishes showing progressive splitting of parishes are
also in Brian Fisk's list. Original registers are mostly deposited in the
London
Metropolitan Archives. In the list below, the name of the church as
it appears in their database is shown (in capitals) followed by the words
"in LMA database". Contact details for churches now are on the Diocese of London church
finder or their list for Hackney Deanery
which give addresses, email and phone numbers and have grid references.
