Best to phone them first rather than just show up. Know that from experience! Sorry I've forgotten the phone number...

The parish of St John Stratford was formed out of the parish of West Ham around 1844 althought he construction of the church was approved in 1832 and opened as a chapel of ease in 1834.

By 1865 the parish of Stratford had been further divided to create two further parishes

The Essex Records Office in Chelmsford has a comment next to Stratford which states "see West Ham until 1838".

You can check whether specific Essex registers are available online here: http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/displayParishContents.asp, but at present for West ham All Saints there are only one set of 17th century BMD records online.
