Katrina 1. Yes this church still exists. In 1897 it became Southwark Cathedral. If you google you can find some sites with its history and various photographs. 2. Regarding parish registers, " "The London parts of Surrey and Kent are in the dioceses of Winchester and Rochester respectively, the rest of London is its own diocese and all are in the Province of Canterbury. Nearly all Parish registers have been deposited either at the London Metropolitan Archives or the Guildhall Library but there are some at local libraries, particularly Westminster Archives Centre. The Society of Genealogists has copies of about 200. Boyd's Marriage Index covers 162 parishes and Institutions, some only extracts. Pallot's Marriage Index covers 235 registers mostly from 1800-1812 or 1837." [T.V.H. FitzHugh, The Dictionary of Genealogy, 1994.] 3. I don't know about pre- but certainly post 1854 the parish had a designated burial area within Brookwood Cemetery in surrey .Brookwood is a huge cemetery which had its own railway terminus - there's a website here: www.tbcs.org.uk/ nell |
