Which borough?
« on: Tuesday 13 October 09 13:02 BST (UK) »
Hi
I'm trying to find my GG mother's birth (circa 1811) and marriage (pre 1837)
I know from census returns that she was born in Tottenham Court Road, and in 1841 thruough 1871 census returns she lived in Westminster.
Now Ancestry have the London Archives up I thought I would ferret through them (I've tried searching them by name but can't find anything) to see if I can find her.
Does anyone have idea which London parish TCR would fall under so I can limit my search to the relevant collection.  Ditto I think the marriage would then either likley be the same parish or one in Westminster.
I'd like to try the parish records where she lived in 1841 as my first port of call re the marriage, and the parishes covering TCR in 1811 re her birth.
Any ideas or suggestions anyone?
Jules

From this:
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=65174

it seems that TCR (at least in part) formed the boundary between the parishes of St Pancras and St Giles.
