[http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1624 Ancestry.com] has digitized London's parish registers with the exception of All Hallows Barking. Transcripts of many of the City of London parishes have been published and are now out of copyright (published before 1923). Consequently, many parish register transcripts have been digitised and are available for free at [http://books.google.com Google Books] and [http://www.archive.org Internet Archive]. To determine if your ancestor's parish has been digitised or indexed, refer to individual parish pages. | ||
