I volunteer at my local LDS FHC and seeing mention of Walthamstow I want to tell you that the LDS Familyseach.org group have recently launched a pilot program where in time you will be able to read thousands, if not millions of original documents. Programs/docs being added daily. However, it is a pilot program! I was poking around there today and there is quite a bit on bmd on Walthanmstow (they mucked up the transcription of Leyton & Leytonstone - but that's OK). Not much on Essex in general but worth taking a look just to see what fabulous work is being accomplished by the LDS. http://pilot.familysearch.org/ Good luck, Shirley O'Donnell Essex OPC Coordinator
I must say, the search engine seems extremely fast and responsive, and the database looks very promising indeed! The pages aren't very dial-up-friendly though - shame.
