Parish records are in the Guildhall Library: baptisms, 1653-1876; marriages, 1653-1875; banns, 1754-1812 and 1823-75; and burials, 1653-1852. Later baptisms and marriages are in the registers of St James Garlickhithe. A partial index to baptisms and marriages for the years, 1651-1875, is in the IGI.
