Perhaps here ? From GENUKI website ST. LUKE REGISTRATION DISTRICT Registration County : London. Created : 1.7.1837 (sometimes 'St. Luke Middlesex' in early listings) Abolished : 1.8.1869 (succeeded by Holborn district). Sub-districts : City Road; Finsbury; Old Street; Whitecross Street. GRO volumes : II (1837-51); 1b (1852-69).

Middlesex looks OK, so I will have to decide whether to send for both certs. Why can`t people have names like car registrations there would only be one of them then. lol lol... Kathlyn

In my experience in research, St Lukes refers to the reg district around Clerkenwell/Holborn/Cripplegate area, which is NOT West Ham.

Well, if its St Lukes as in reg district, its Middlesex and if its St Lukes as in West Ham/Canning Town it will be Essex, won't it? St L. births will be vol. II or 1b. Any West Ham area registrations will be XII (1837-51); 4a (1852-1946).; 5A (1946-65); 5E (1965-67).
