advice wanted please

[patrish]

I was hoping to write to the Stepney Registrar's Office and ask them for a search but according to Goggle they closed it in 1983, does anyone have any idea where I go from here please.

Thanks Patrish.

Thanks Newbie,

I have phoned them, very nice but unfortunately they said they can only do a search if the exact district is know as there are some 40 sub dist in Stepney and they are not computerised.

She  suggested that these births may never have been registered so I am now going to check the parish records for baptisms using the dates that I have as a starting point. she also suggested I start with the parish church of St. Dunstans.    I see a long day ahead of me at the met archives .

oh dear, no luck on the gro indexes then? I found mine there first, and then asked them to confirm before sending the cert, they were very good, I had the cert back within a week!
Good luck at the LMA I am due for lots of research trips once the decorating is finished!

You are dead right there Newbie,    I have scoured the index's under the fathers and mothers name other chatters have looked also, but there are DOB's in a family bible so that where I will start, after all they must have come from somewhere.

Fingers crossed there may be some transcriptions at the LMA, that may save some time.......
Good luck
