District of St Olave

[NigelBurch]

Does anyone know where the district of St Olave is which is quoted in the English Births, Marriages and Deaths lists.  I am trying to locate the death of a relative between 1841 and 1851 and have seen that it may be in York, Exeter, Southwark and Woolwich?  Any ideas?

Many thanks

Thanks for that Tati

Being in Southwark, St Olave is a plausible connection to where my relation was though still a few miles away and in London maybe that's far enough.

I don't suppose you know "St Saviour's" or "St Geo X" districts are aswell?  They are the only other districts with plausible connections but I don't know of their locations.  My relation lived in Woolwich but I have no idea which parish he was in.  There is a St Saviour's church in Woolwich but it doesn't look as though it was built in 1841 and may not have been large enough to warrant being a BMD district.

Regards

My great grandmother was born in the work house in St Saviour, Southwark and St Olave's is deffinitely in South East london. My lot come from various parts around here, Lambeth, Newington, Camberwell.

Some parish registers from some of the South East parishes are listed on here

Don't confuse St Olave the parish with St Olave the Registration District and Poor Law Union. St Olave RD covered, in addition to the parish of St Olave, Horsleydown, St Thomas, Rotherhithe and Bermondsey.

You asked about Woolwich. I wonder if you've looked at the link that Tati provided.

The parish of Woolwich was in the registration district of Greenwich until 1868 and then in the Woolwich RD.

Not to be confused with St Olave's near Lowestoft, Norfolk.  I made that mistake at first, as my great grandma was born in St Olave and her father was from Norfolk!
