CHAP. II.
The liberties and out parishes which surround, and compose the suburbs of, the city of London.
Footnotes
Norton Falgate liberty.
The north end of Bishopsgate-street-without enters into a small extraparochial liberty called Norton Falgate, belonging to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's cathedral. The inhabitants maintain their own poor, and marry and bury where they please; but they generally make use of a chapel, built originally for them near Spital-yard, by Sir George Wheeler, prebendary of Durham.
St. Leonard Shoreditch.
As the inhabitants of this liberty are out of the city jurisdiction, as they refused to be included in the act for paving the parish of Shoreditch, and are too poor as a body to pave their own streets; we still see in Norton Falgate, between the improved streets of Bishopsgate and Shoreditch, a relic of the old inconvenient method of paving the metropolis: which at least serves by contrast to shew the superior elegance of the new plan.
Norton Falgate, which is a continuation of Bishopsgate-street, ends in a long street called Shoreditch, which appears to have been antiently a village situated along the Roman highway, termed Eald-street by the Saxons; and then at a. considerable distance from the city of London, though they are at present united. This parish, so far from deriving its name from the vulgar tale of Jane Shore, concubine of Edward IV. is said by Stowe to have been called by the name of Soerditch above 400 years before his time (fn. 15) : but as he mentions it in one place by the name of Sewer's ditch (fn. 16) , this may probably have been its original name, as having been a ditch to which the common sewers on that side the town were conducted: though Maitland is of opinion that the Hamlet owes its name to one of the predecessors of Sir John Sordig, or Soreditch, who was lord thereof in the year 1339.
At the north east end of the high street called Shoreditch stands the parish church of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, which is thought to be of a Saxon foundation. The last structure, which was a very mean heavy pile, stood till the year 1735, when the inhabitants having the year before applied to parliament, it was pulled down, and the present light and elegant edifice was soon after erected in its room, of brick and stone. To this church there is an ascent by a double flight of plain steps, which lead to a portico of four Doric columns, supporting an angular pediment. The body of the edifice is plain, but well enlightened, and the steeple light, elegant and lofty. The tower at a proper height has a series of Ionic columns, and on their entablature are scrolls which support as many Corinthian columns placed on pedestals, bearing a dome; from whose crown rises a series of columns of the Composite order; on the entablature of which rests the spire standing upon balls; and on the top, as usual, is a ball and vane (fn. 17) .
This church is both a rectory and a vicarage; the arch-deacon of London has been parson or rector ever since the reign of king John, and presents the vicar: all matters ecclesiastical in the parish, in subordination to the bishop, are subject to his jurisdiction, except in the liberties of Hoxton and Nortonfalgate, which belong to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's.
In this parish are two prebends, and part of a third, belonging to St. Paul's cathedral, in the city of London: the first, denominated Eald-street, or Oldstreet, received that appellation from the Saxons, as being part of the Roman military way: the second, which had been a separate village for many ages, by the name of Hochestone, vulgarly Hoxton, likewise shews itself to be of a Saxon origin: the third called Haliwel, had its name from a vicinal fountain, which, for the salubrity of its water, had the epithet of Holy conferred on it.

The actual image says "Henry Tabraham of the Liberty of Nortonfalgate & Bachelor" .................... the printed word Parish has been crossed out (these records usually say of this Parish, or of the Parish of ....)
It also says "Susanna Pinfold of the fanoplaw (????) &Spinster" ..... maybe someone else can decipher these words. It certainly doens't look like "of this parish"
Witnesses:- Hannah Middleton and George Lemming (or Limming)
All were able to sign their own names.

this is on the International Genealogical Index on www.familysearch.org ... the Mormon site.
This is a free site, but you do have to be aware of the distinction between Extracted and Submitted records
Extracted records have been taken from the actual parish record
Submitted records have been sent in by someone, usaully a church member, and there is no backup documentation to prove whether or not this information is accurate. Take such records under advisement, but do not enter them on your tree unless and until you can find the documentation.
This is an Extracted record

No certificates for any event at that date
Registration of bmds began in July 1 1837.
It is a matter of searching parish records for baptisms, marriages and deaths.

I have information of a burial record of a Henry Tabraham in St Mary's Hornsey on 5th December 1815, Henry's address being given as Highgate and his age as 39.
Can anybody expand on this information, maybe direct me to a death or marriage certificate?
Thanks
