City of London Burials

Introduction by John Hanson

Searching for burials in London is never easy and the problem is worse in the City of London itself, where there were 98 churches within the so-called "Square Mile", or historic core of the city. Add to this the fact that the General Register Office (GRO) death indexes from their start in 1837 to 1865 do not display the age at death and the problem is exacerbated.

Parish registers include the age at death from at least 1813, but this is no help if you have no idea where within the area a person was buried. However, burials in the City ceased in 1853 and in fact in many of its parishes had slowed down well before then, with fresh interments moving to the new burial grounds outside the city.

The original City of London Burial Index was created by Cliff Webb and produced by the West Surrey Family History Society in 1991 and re-issued in 1997. This index has now been added to findmypast.co.uk and contains details from 75 of the 98 churches within the City of London (the so-called “square mile”).

Having realised the shortfall, Monnica Stevens calculated that, as there were 38,000 entries in Cliff Webb’s original index, there should be only about 10,000 in the remainder, and decided to transcribe the burial registers of the outstanding 23 churches. After a couple of parishes, however, Monnica discovered that the missing churches were mainly the large ones and, in all, these produced nearly 80,000 burials.

Burial records for one church in the City are excluded from the index. This is St Peter ad Vincula, the chapel in the Tower of London, records for which are still in the Tower. Despite repeated requests for access to index the register, to date permission has not been granted.

It was then decided to expand the index, including burial grounds (such as Bunhill Fields and Spa Fields) and the ring of parishes on the fringe of the city, including those south of the River Thames. Burial grounds such as Spa Fields catered mostly but by no means exclusively for Non-Conformist rather than Anglican burials.

Below you will find a detailed alphabetical list of the churches and burial grounds, including the range of dates for each.

Having completed that project, we are now in the process of indexing the period from 1754 to 1812.

The database now contains 504,973 entries. Each entry of Monnica Stevens’s is a complete abstract of the record – please note that there is no additional information in the original register.

In this sense, then, the database is not so much an index, or finding aid, but a full transcription.

However, the original City of London Burial Index created by Cliff Webb is more of an index, and is not a full transcription: in most cases, the month and address fields have not been transcribed.

Each record on Find My Past is attributed to one or the other source, so you will be able to determine whether there may be additional details in the original burial register.

All entries within the burial registers in question have been transcribed, with the exception of those which were for the unidentified and unidentifiable (for example, "a drowned man"). Entries which were forename-only, or surname- only, are included.

For further information on London burials, we recommend the 2005 7th edition of Greater London Cemeteries and Crematoria by Patricia Wolfston and revised by Cliff Webb, published by The Society of Genealogists.

The list below will give you more information about each church – the dates for which we have burial records, the number of burials in the database, the location and any other interesting snippets.
