Ancestry has been very unkind to my time by loading thousands of records mainly for London but also North Surrey. I have found so many relatives, some of which are major breakthroughs for me, especially on my wife's side, whose ancestry was nearly all from London. The marriages in particular, showing the father's name and profession has been critical and their search engine has also been very good, so that e.g. you can enter the father's name or mother's and find all the children for baptisms. They don't seem to have that many burials but marriages and bpt are great. I have certainly got my money's worth this year from ancestry and well done to them. Paul

Seconding Paul's applause for Ancestry's latest offerings with the London parish records but I STILL can't find my elusive John Austin, supposedly born in Bermondsey in 1822 ....! That man is going to have a lot to answer for when I finally meet him ..... lol Can anyone advise me what to try now? The 1851 census says he was born in Bermondsey, and he was buried in Abney Park so by his death at least he was a dissenter. If his parents were dissenters was there a baptism or other ritual that may have been recorded?

Her father was Joseph Elsworth, according to her marriage cert. ..and the marriage of William Richardson to Lydia somebody, circa 1760, possibly in Holborn (all known children born there). -- Regards Dave

Have you thought of Maze Pond Chapel, just by Guys Hospital.
