The main thing to note with the coverage of the LMA databases on ancestry, is that it will only include parishes where the original registers have been deposited at LMA. Most parish records accessible in the search rooms at LMA are from registers deposited with LMA, however there are some notable acceptions.

The parishes of St Giles in the Fields, All Saints, Isleworth and Christ Church Ealing can all be consulted at LMA on Microfilm, but the originals are not deposited and so they will not be on the ancestry databases

LMA's holdings cover the former counties of London and Middlesex, with the execeptions of the City of London and the City of Westminster who have their own archives. The City of London parishes at Guildhall Library are included on the ancestry database but those held at City of Westminster Archives are not.

For the more central boroughs like Southwark, Lambeth, Islington, Hackney and Tower Hamlets the majority of anglican parishes are held by LMA and are on ancestry. The further out towards the suburbs you get, the more parishes you find that have not deposited their records and these are usually still held at the church. The list is too long to note them all individually

Of the ancient parishes in the area covered by the London Metropolitan Archives, The following are not on the ancestry database.
St Giles in the Fields - films at LMA
All Saints Isleworth - films at LMA
St Paul Hammersmith - Hammersith and Fulham local studies
St Mary Abbotts Kensington -at church
St Margaret Lee - Greenwich Heritage Centre
St Luke Charlton - Greenwich heritage Centre
St John the Baptist Eltham -at church
All the ancient parishes of City of Westminster as listed by Dawn

It should also be noted that for the boroughs of Greenwich and particularly Lewisham many of the parish registers have been deposited with the local studies library

some other notable exceptions are
Dulwich College Chapel - Dulwich College Library
St Peter ad Vincula -a t church?
St John in the Tower - at church?
St James Chapel Royal - TNA
Lincoln's In Chapel - at church?
St Bartholomew the Less - Bart's Hospital
Fleet Prison - TNA

What about missing pages.

Going through one particular parish marriages there are a number of pages missing.

The same parish the links to the various years are all wrong in the pre 1812 baptisms, St Sepulchre Holborn. 1787-1808 link actually takes you to 1752-1768 baptisms. The 1787-1808 baptisms do not appear to be there.

I have found a lot of mistakes, church shown as Kensington when it  clearly  is Kennington, there seems to be no way to correct these mistakes so I suppose they go on uncorrected,  but on the whole I am finding what I need and my gaping holes are quickly diminishing

At the moment there is no way of reporting them  :o but it's being worked on

But if you want to add them here, I can then let the LMA know.

I'll add

St Simon Hammersmith marriages 1888 indexed and among St Thomas Clapton Common, Hackney, images 10-21

St Mary Stratford, Bow marriages 1888 indexed and among St Mary Stamford Brook images 1-25

Hi Dawn
I will have to go back over my notes to find the Kennington showing as Kensington, here is another one found yesterday

Richard Henry Clement
born 1900
Bapt Emmanuel Hornsey
shown as 1890 but it should read 1900, this child wasn't born till 1900
image page 9 of 15

Thank you Dawn but it is a pity one cannot correct these ourselves, my guess the whole of this page for 1900 has been shown as 1890

regards

Brenda
PS how is the job hunting going

Yes it is unfortunate that you cannot apply corrections yourself. Having contacted ancestry i was given the following e-mail address to report transcription errors etc. customersolutions@ancestry.com

I have heard that there may be a possible update with regard to fixing transcription errors early in the new year, alternatively the next big update should be around easter when the earlier records should be available fully indexed, hopefully once they index them it might sort out some of the problem links
