Family History Beginners Board / Great Fire of London
« on: Friday 19 April 24 12:14 BST (UK)  »
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?

Family History Beginners Board / Marriage Allegations, Bonds & Licences
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 18:25 BST (UK)  »
I have a marriage at St Giles Cripplegate, London in 1696 that is shown in the parish register as having been by Licence. Trawling through all the Harleian Society Indexes though for the Dioceses of London, Westminster, Rochester & Canterbury, their details (John Glover & Jane Atcliffe) are not listed. Any advice as to where I can look next would be very much appreciated please.
