There is another problem within the Marylebone area. There is a gap on Ancestry for St Mary Bryanstone Square 1885 is filmed (part) then it starts again in 1892. Maybe when this set was filmed the originals were in conservation? If indeed the originals are at LMA. Is there some kind of "rule" whereby Ancestry only film LMA/Guildhall records where they hold the originals (as well as microfilm) rather than just microfilm? You could try tracking the career of your curate to see precisely which parish he was working in 1888?
