New parish records for London's docklands

We've just added over 44,000 new baptisms for London's docklands to our Parish Records Collection. These new additions, released in partnership with Docklands Ancestors, date from 1770 through to 1880 and are invaluable to anyone tracing their east London roots.

The people included in these new records are a diverse mix. Among them you will find many professions associated with the docks including watermen and lightermen, stevedores and dock labourers, clerks, carmen, customs officials and crane drivers.

The parishes and years covered by the new records are:

St Dunstan Stepney 1770-1798
St Mary Whitechapel 1758-1774
St Anne Limehouse 1854-1877
Christ Church Stepney 1842-1860
All Saints Mile End 1840-1880
