I'm looking on the LMA site for the microfilm No. of Baptism Registers 1797 Lying in Hospital Endell Street Holborn. There are two of these lying in hospitals on the site but not Holborn. I noticed a PDF file on the site which said that Holborn is now held by Kew. But when I went on to National Archives they said that the files were held by LMA! Can anyone in the know help me please.

The details are from this website: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords

Having read the PDF, RG8 stands for Registrar General 8. If you go to the screen to search the catalogue and type RG 8/52 in the box that says 'type reference here' you'll get the details you want coming up. The film will be at the Family Record Centre. The Catalogue doesn't say whether you can also access it at Kew.

And the reference you actually want is RG 8/64.
