Pallot's Baptism Index
Pallot's Index to Baptism once contained more than 12 million records, but most
were destroyed in World War II. The 200,000 surviving records are a valuable
resource for those seeking ancestors in the Greater London area. The dates range
from 1780 to three years after the onset of General Registration in 1837. These
parish christening and baptismal registrations (with some birth dates recorded)
cover at least 22 parishes in London and Middlesex, around 27 other parishes,
and there are many other miscellaneous entries. Also included are several
records from counties in Wales. They usually give the name of the child and
parentage, the parish of baptism and the date.
The original paper slips of the Pallot Index are owned and held at "The
Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies", Canterbury, England. The
Institute may have access to fuller details which may have survived among the
original parish records. (www.ihgs.ac.uk) The Institute is a not-for-profit
educational organization and researches in the records themselves can be
arranged. Please visit their website for additional information about the
services they provide.
