ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH STEPNEY - IGI OMISSIONS
Information supplied by Society Member John Goodwin

I have found a major error on the IGI for the records of St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney.
 
According to Phillimore's Parish Register Index 'all' the data has been through the sausage machine - up to the 1870's or whatever the exact cut off date was.
 
I have recently found that for the ten year period from 1805 to 1814 inclusive NO marriage details are included.
 
My findings have been confirmed by the LDS, and the data will be added at some as yet unspecified date.
 
There are possibly members out there - like me - searching around in all the wrong places trying to find a marriage for an ancestor during that period.
 
I found this out when I recently purchased Paillot's Marriage Index on CD-rom and found my namesakes marriage recorded there but not on the IGI.

JANUARY 2004

Welcome to the new look East of London FHS website for 2004.

The Society is proud to be celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year.  The website has been redesigned for several reasons, firstly to celebrate the anniversary with a new look and secondly to include some additional navigation features within the site to enable easier browsing for the visitor. These features include a fly out menu on the left side, click tabs at the top of each page taking you to the most frequently used pages, similar links at the bottom of each page and relevant links on the right side of some pages taking you to additional pages within each section.

Bookmarks to particular pages will not be affected as page names have not been changed. The cemetery section however has been expanded to allow one page per borough.

The Publications section has been altered slightly to give easier access to information about the growing number of CDROMs being produced by the Society.

Inevitably with a major overhaul of the site there may be some broken links but these have been checked and appear to be in order, but if you find any that don't work, please email the webmaster.
