Looking at some London parish register indices I am puzzled how they show some (although not as many as usual, admittedly) for birth, deaths and marriages that took place after the church had burned down and years before it was rebuilt.
Does anyone have any knowledge on how vicars managed to do this? Did they perform ceremonies in the open air? Did they scrounge usage of a surviving church but recorded it as if the ceremony took place in their own parish?
