Michael, St John Zachary (like many churches destroyed in the Fire) was united with a nearby parish in the 1670s, in this case St Anne and St Agnes. Some united parishes retained separate registers, recording events for parishioners according to their parish of residence, even though there was no longer a church there. In other united parishes, events for parishioners were all recorded together in a single register. Ancestry is inconsistent about how it treats united parishes. This is a useful source for details of united parishes http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hitch/gendocs/city-ch.html#HOME HTH Judy London, UK -----Original Message----- From: london-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:london-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Nivard Ovington Ancestry has Name: Mary Langton Baptism Date: 22 Nov 1776 Parish: St Anne and St Agnes County: London Borough: City of London Parent(s): John Langton, Mary Langton Record Type: Baptism Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > I have found a baptism on the IGI for Mary Langton 22 Nov 1776 St John > Zachary > I searched maps and goggled but could not find the Church > then I stumbled onto a site which had the following > > > *City parish churches: St. John Zachary (site of)* > > One of the City's parish churches that was not rebuilt after the Great > Fire but whose churchyard or site lives on as a garden.
