Hi Chris,
----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Roberts <
>wish that I had done the same for St. Marylebone.

Here you go:-)

For St.Marylebone here is a list of all the Anglican churches in 1890 which
may be useful.
As always, corrections most welcome.
St.Marylebone Parish (which ended up with 26 ecclesiastical parishes by
1890 - 9 parishes today)
was a unit of civil government, in Middlesex until 1889, then the new County
of London; a Vestry until 1900, becoming the Metropolitan Borough of
St.Marylebone , and then part of City of Westminster in 1964. - The
appropriate Godfrey Maps
[website at end] show parish boundaries.
This list of St.Marylebone churches 1890 may help, with date founded where
known. St Marylebone [St.Mary le bourne] is the original parent parish of
almost all parishes. [but moved - see note below]
N.B. For marriage certificates referring to the [Parish] Church of St,Mary
see note under St.Mary, Bryanston Square, below.
I've tried to comment about their IGI status, but if you go to
www.familysearch.org and Browse > Browse
Library Catalogue > Placename Search [enter St Marylebone -N.B.Placename
search is picky about spelling - experiment with StMarylebone,
St.Marylebone, &c.] and select
St.Marylebone, Middlesex ] > Church Records and Church Records-Indexes, you
will see a list of all the LDS film holdings.
Batch numbers are at this site
>http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/nzsoghamilton/batchnumbers.htm
Some churches may appear on the BVRI rather than the IGI.
If on the IGI or BVRI then the LDS has a film of the registers.[which may
not be complete].
Registers should be with the Westminster City Archives or with
LMA,Northampton Row, if not still at church.
