I notice by Googling that St. Ann Blackfriars was destroyed during the Great Fire of 1665 and not rebuilt but afterwards merged with St. Andrew of the Wardrobe. My question is, I have just been looking (via Ancestry) at baptism and marriages registers for St. Ann Blackfriars that clearly resume after an interruption around 1680 and go forward. That is, there is not a separate book before and after 1685, although the hands are clearly different. And the entries don't seem to be labeled St. Andrew. What do I not understand or have I missed about this? Santa T.

Santa, Some (but not all) united parishes retained separate registers for each constituent parish. The original parish boundaries were observed, even though there was no separate church, and events were recorded for parishioners in the appropriate register, according to where they lived. I hope that makes sense?
