The following announcement was written by Findmypast:
We added baptisms, marriages and more this week.
If your family tree has London branches, it just got easier to fill in those pesky gaps. This Findmypast Friday, we added 25,418 baptisms and over 2,500 marriage records from London, Middlesex and Surrey.
These new additions stretch as far back as 1750 and include parishes in Barking, Lambeth, Camden and Bermondsey. We also added two English titles to our newspaper collection this week.
Surrey Baptisms
These 12,190 new additions cover from 1785 to 1865, meaning it’s easier than ever to delve into your family tree’s 18th and 19th-century branches.
Middlesex Baptisms
We’ve also added over 12,000 baptisms from Middlesex, covering 122 years.
