Lost Parish Records

Posted on: 26/12/09 at 10:21:51 GMT

Does anyone know of any records that list Parish Records / Churches lost during the Great Fire of London and WW2.

Happy New Year.

The recent Society of Genealogists did a feature on just this topic! It seems the Fire led to a period of consolidation and rationalisation of parishes. Wiki talks about this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_churches_rebuilt_after_the_Great_Fire_of_London_but_since_demolished.
The article is no doubt copyright the society. This web page may also help http://www.ferdinando.org.uk/church.htm

Thanks Tony. The Fedinando site answered 2 questions for me.
