John, The registers for St Giles in the Fields have traditionally been retained by the church, and (as you say) a film is available at LMA. However, a couple of months ago the original registers were finally deposited at LMA, but they have not yet been catalogued. As far as I'm aware, researchers at LMA still need to use the rather poor quality film. There are no BTs for St Giles before about 1800. HTH Judy London, UK ----- Original Message ----- From: J.

I recall using some St. Giles in the Fields registers on microfilm at the LMA a few years ago. Regards, John Townsend

Many thanks for that, Judy. Do you happen to know whether the film includes burials, 1736-1746?

Original registers FINALLY deposited! Great news indeed - thanks for this. Wonder if the PC will give permission for digitisation onto Ancestry? Remember one of the recent incumbents visiting LMA conservation a couple of years or more ago (while I was in there on one of my volunteer days), think they were trying to persuade him about depositing, but not sure they were successful at that time!
