Does anyone know how to search these images? I am currently searching St George in the East in Tower Hamlets and a lot of the dates seem to overlap. For instance if I want to search 1750, do I have to search 3 collections? Has anyone had any success with this?

I think you'll find that the reason the dates overlap is because they cover baptisms, marriages and burials and each are in a separate register. These records are not yet indexed so you just have to scroll through the pages.

I just had a quick look at some of the earlier ones for St. George in the East and they were barely readable. Maybe the later ones are better.

Good luck.
