Although Ancestry has the baptism and burial registers on line for St Anne´s Limehouse from 1730, there don´t seem to be any marriages for that period and parish. I´ve looked up the LMA holdings and there should be marriages from 1730 onwards. Does anyone know why Ancestry doesn´t include them. Thanks Diane

Diane, I think that Ancestry attempts to put a large percentage of records from one souce online before they have completely finished transcribing them. I have noticed that they have continued to "add" to US census records and our SS Death index over time, making it possible to find new things years after once checking for them. I don't know if this is because of a commitment to get as much online as possible or a strategy to keep one coming back so to speak. Hopefully, the marriage registers you seek will one day be added.

Your best bet would be to ask Ancestry themselves as they are the ones who would definitely know. Anyone else would have to try to guess why they haven't put them online. Have you had a look at Docklands Ancestors? I believe they have the registers available online for a small charge. They have a lot of the East End PRs. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/

Could someone possibly point me in the right direction as to which registry office to use to apply for a death certificate please? If I use the GRO I think I will have to buy all 3 - or at least one at a time! My ancestor was called Jane Ellen MOSS (but sometimes Jane Sarah Moss as her mother was called Sarah Ellen). She was born in Whitechapel July 1846 and lived around that area as a Staymaker all her life. I don't think she ever married and the last I can find of her is as a Boarder in Mile End Old Town in the 1901 census. >From the GRO Indexes I have found the following deaths but am not sure which registry office to apply to to see if I have the correct one: 1. Apr-Jun 1902 Jane Ellen Moss Age 58 West Ham, Essex Vol 4a Pg 133 (seems the most likely but Essex puts me off) 2. Jan-Mar 1911 Jane Moss Age 66 Barnett Vol 3a Pg 216 3. Jane Moss Jan-Mar 1913 Age 69 London City Vol 1c pg 1 Perhaps I should add that her sister Louisa, who Jane lived with (also a spinster Staymaker) died in 1886 in Middlesex Lunatic Asylum in Banstead (now Surrey) of TB so was moved out of the area. Best wishes for 2011 to you all. Carolyn

Hi Diane I suspect you are looking in the wrong place thats all Select the database entitled London, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 Select Tower Hamlets then St Anne, Limehouse where you will find said marriages under 1730 - 1751 page 1 are for marriages 1730 but they may be scattered through the pages or all together, it varies The reason you can't find them transcribed is that the marriages does not cover that period (yet) Its entitled London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Although Ancestry has the baptism and burial registers on line for St Anne´s Limehouse from 1730, there don´t seem to be any marriages for that period and parish. I´ve looked up the LMA holdings and there should be marriages from 1730 onwards. Does anyone know why Ancestry doesn´t include them. Thanks Diane
