St Marylebone |
This page was provided by John Henley, who regularly answers questions on mailing lists about Middlesex parishes and churches.
For St.Marylebone here is a list of all the Anglican churches in 1890 which may be useful. As always, any corrections and additional info. most welcome.
St.Marylebone Parish (which ended up with 26 ecclesiastical parishes by 1890, which are reducd to 9 parishes today) 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 St.Marylebone, and then part of City of Westminster in 1964. The appropriate Godfrey Maps (see recommended maps) show parish boundaries. This list of St.Marylebone churches 1890 may help, with date founded where known. St Marylebone [St.Mary le bourne] is the original parent parish of almost all parishes (but this church has moved - see note below). N.B.: for marriage certificates referring to the [Parish] Church of St. Mary see note under St. Mary, Bryanston Square, below. I've tried to comment about their IGI status, but if you go to FamilySearch and Browse > Browse Library Catalogue > Placename Search [enter St Marylebone -N.B.Placename search is picky about spelling - experiment with StMarylebone, St.Marylebone, etc.] and select St.Marylebone, Middlesex ] > Church Records and Church Records-Indexes, you will see a list of all the LDS film holdings. Batch numbers are at this site http://nzsghamilton.co.nz/BNlondon1.htm and also 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). Registers should be with the Westminster City Archives or with London Metropolitan Archives, Northampton Row, if not still at church..
St. Marylebone, Marylebone Road [The
parent parish church, built in 1813-17 on a new site to replace the 2nd
parish church (1400 - see "The Parish Chapel" entry following) which

The parish website includes a history of the various
parish churches. The crypt was used for burial from 1817 to 1853, and
then closed. In the 1980s the 850 coffins in the crypt were removed to
Brookwood
Cemetery. A list of those re-interred is held in the parish
