London geography Q

BK6 updated from this thread

If a relative says he was b in the parish of St George the Martyr, Middlesex is there any way I can determine if one parish is more likely than another?

I looked at the LMA records and saw there's one church described as St George the Martyr, Queens Square, Camden, another at Battersea and a third at Southwark. No doubt there are others! lol

I'm just wondering which records I should investigate first?

Southwark and Battersea would be Surrey, not Middlesex, so we can rule those out. Camden was in Middlesex.

But looking at GENUKI and Google, and remembering you said the people you're researching at the moment came from Bloomsbury, it will be St George the Martyr, Queen Square, Holborn. I can't do a link because I'm on the pocketsurfer. It might come under Pancras.

It comes under Camden I work just across the road from there in Red Lion Square.

Its Holborn.

Yonks ago I used to work in Procter House, just down the road. I haven't been back for years and was most surprised to see on the Seety street view that it's been seriously tarted up.

Ah, it is the one listed as Camden on ancestry.

and the writing is really easy - two different hands so far - fingers crossed it stays this way!!

Well done.

*worries that Wallis is Sarah's maiden name when it should be Maynard!*
