Catholic Church's in or near Bloomsbury, London

[kmp789]

Hi Everyone, One of my husbands ancestors states on her 1851 census she was born in Bloomsbury, London and as her parents where born in Ireland I think she and his siblings where baptised in a Catholic Church within the Bloomsbury district. So is there a Catholic Church Archives in London who I can contact to see if they hold parish registers for the Bloomsbury area of London. Many Thanks in advance for any help given.

What address is given on the Birth Certificate?

[kmp789]

She was born about 1826 so no civil certificate. So looking for a baptism of her and her siblings

[KGarrad]

Probably best to try Roman Catholic Diocese of Westminster?

Maybe the Church of Christ the King, Bloomsbury?

or St Ethelreda's, Holborn?
In 1820 the chapel was taken over by the National Society for the Education of the Poor who hoped to convert the Irish Catholic immigrants then settling in the area.

Maybe the Church of Christ the King, Bloomsbury?

Founded in 1853 - too late

Whose baptism are you looking for?

[kmp789]

The baptism for Mary Louise Healy born about 1826 could be 2 years either side.

There are a few possibles at St Anselm & St Cecilia (Sardinian Chapel) in Lincolns Inn Fields:

1824:

Maria Healy daughter of "Guli" (William?) & Maria Healey nee Carey
Maria Healy daughter of David & Helen Healy

1827

Maria Healy daughter of Daniel & Helen Healy
