Hello
can anyone please tell me if there is published MI's for this church ?
i am looking for a death record for a Minnie Bartlett who married in this church in 1888 her surname at time of marriage was Eid .i have found the family in the 1901 census but then my trail goes cold .so it was just a thought that prehaps when she died she might have been buried there.any help would be greatly appreciated.kind regards aeroqueen

If you go to this website:
http://www.eolfhs.org.uk/parish/victoria_dock.htm
you'll get some info about the records which are available at Essex Record Office about this church, which is in an area which was heavily bombed during WW2. They don't include any info about MIs or burials. Without being certain, I think that this is probably because that was (and probably still is) a poor area which didn't have people with money for such things as MIs or enough land to include a burial ground. Saint Luke has its website at:
http://www.stlukeschurche16.co.uk/
and you may get further info there.
Have you checked GRO index for her death?
