According to Genuki they're held at the LMA.
There are marriages for St Matthews 1899-1921 on Ancestry and an even more limited number of Baptisms 1899 - 1906. There don't seem to be any Burials on Ancestry. The Church was opened in 1899.

Hope this helps.

A large number of my family were in Fulham in late 1800s to 1954. THere are a few records on Ancestry but i have found most of the churches connected to my research arent there. I have been lucky to find some records which for direct ancestors I sent for the certificates before they were so expensive.
I did visit the record office for Fulham and Hammersmith but they did not have much.They did have electoral rolls and they did answer a query on line. They also found me some old pictures of the streets my greats lived in. They were quite helpful.
Are you on Ancestry?
What names are you interested in?

Newly built Churches consecrated as late as this wouldn't have a churchyard, you will have to coonsider burials in municipal cemeteries.

Finding burials in and around London is particlarly tricky after the 1830's. Valda has written an excellent guide here

Hi.
I am interested in the surname Beeches/Beaches.
I have found some records for them on ancestry, but was wondering if I could research them at  record office as its expensive ordering all the certificates.

thanks

A visit to record offices often answers lots of questions.I have not been to the LMA but many other county offices.I have always found staff very helpful and often help you in your searches.I have saved a fair bit of money because you can get printed copies of any Certs and often some pre 1837.youpy spittle towards the photocopying which is only fair.
I love going to record offices.Have a go.

I see you come from Northampton.have you any research areas in that countybecause it's a small friendly office and worth a visit but only if you have research in that county.

Yes I have been to Northants Record Office many times. Its great finding the certificates and getting a photocopy, it definiately saves on ordering them from the GRO.
I think I will go and have a look in London, we are going to go and spend a night in london and do some other things so wont be a wasted journey if I cant find anything.

Thanks
Lisa
