St. James, Paddington - burial records
« on: Thursday 18 March 21 17:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking at 18th century burial records for St. James, Paddington, and have noticed that a large number of them are for individuals coming from outside of the immediate area. e.g. from St. Giles in the Field, Holborn. What is the background to this? A case of not enough space nearer the centre of the city?
