Hi, I thank you for this information. Sometime ago I asked the Clifton Bristol and Islington London Registry office, if they would do a search for me with regard to my G/Grandmother's marriage between 1870-1874. Mary Anne Charles was born in Clifton but lived in Islington at the time of marriage to a Herman Nullmeyer. On both accounts they told me that they do not have any records over 100 years old, and they could not tell me were these record were kept either.

I would email the London Metropolitan Archives and re-ask the question for Islington. There will be copies of the registers held at one or more of the Registry Offices in London - unless they have been transferred in toto to the LMA. There have been many changes of responsibilities in London since 1870-1874 - but if anyone should know the answer - it is the LMA. Same thing but not so acute for Bristol. Just re-ask the same question. You may just have got the staff in the middle of a move, or a bad-hair day. And thanks to Gerry for sending the link to Howard's summary of Cardinal Points. Just need West Wales to be indexed now!! But if it works for the East End of London, I guess it will work anywhere. Come and meet Howard at WDYTYA 2010 - he will be on the GOONS Bookstall - he usually is. He is a very entertaining and good speaker.
