Title: St. James, Westminster parish records - how to access from abroad
Post by: Susan41 on Wednesday 09 March 05 06:41 GMT (UK)
The LDS library does not have the parish records from St. James, Westminster available to borrow.  My internet search shows that these registers are kept at the City of Westminster Archives.  How can someone overseas get information from these registers?

I am looking to get a copy of the marriage entry for Edward Hodson and Sarah Maria Goddard Rosser which occurred in 1792 - according to Pallot's Marriage Index.

Thanks,

Susan

Thank you very much Dawn.

William Rosser was a brother but Elizabeth Twycross is a mystery.  I have not encountered that surname before.

Thanks again.

Hi Susan

Elizabeth Twycross could have been her best friend?
