City of London Burials - Parishes, Counts and References
The table below shows parishes included in the index, dates covered, number of burials, Guildhall Library (GL) manuscript call numbers and those responsible for the work.
(CW=Cliff Webb, JB=Jack Baxter, RF=Rosemary Feltham, PS=Pat Stanbridge, VG=Vic Gale, EM=Eileen Moore, AW=Alec Whitfield, AD=Ann Dowman, RC=Rosemary Carter, GL=Gordon Lickfold, AR=Anne Ross, GK=Graham Knight, EK=Evelyn Kenward, EMs=Eleanor Maslen, FB=Fiona Birchall, PF=Pat Field, NH= Nick Hofman).
Many of the registers have been printed (see the Guildhall Library Handlist of Parish Registers) and microfilms are available for the remainder. Due to pressure on the volumes, consultation of the originals is now permitted only where both the register is fit for production and the microfilm is defective.
