Can anyone tell me about Woolwich parish records........

[Royalgaz]

I have tried google, but i am so confused now  . Can anyone tell me if prior to 1813 there are any parish records available for Saint Mary Magdalene, Woolwich?

I am trying to find out more about a cousins family and the last details i can find through IGI is for a daughter born in 1813, but he would like to see if can find out any more information about the parents or if there were any other siblings prior to her.

Thanks Gary

Hi

Today is a bad day for checking Greenwich data.  The following message is posted on their site, www.greenwich.gov.uk

"Due to essential maintenance work, the Greenwich Council website is unavailable on Sunday 14 October 2007 between 7am and 9pm.

"We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you."

So it should be back later today.

Hi Gary,

The London Metropolitan Archives hold some parish registers for St Mary Magdalene, Woolwich;  I'm going there this week to search them for one of my lines.

Drop me a pm if you'd like me to have a look for you.
