sup A transcript of marriages "A Londres," posed to be of the Threadneedle Street church. Only a very small portion of this register has been used, and on the last page is the following: "N.B.-Il manque ici 7 mariages que se retrouve dans un mince in 4to destiné come. N.B. Confesoit à deux usages, annonces d'une coté, temoignage de l'autor." VII. Marriages and banns, 13 Nov., 1631, to 25 March, 1674. A small 8vo. book. On the fly-leaf is the following: Suite de l'un des deux cotes ou plus ancien registre des baptêmes et des mariages in folio. N.B. Compose au cote d'un autre in folio ou plutot annonces." Then comes a memorandum, "N.B. La suite est in quarto." There are a few entries, erased, on a leaf after this entry, but to these the year is not added to the date of the month. This register is not indexed. VIII. Marriages and banns, 25 2 Dec., 1685. On the March, 1674, to fly-leaf is found, This register is IX. Marriages and banns, 27 Dec., 1685, to 18 Nov., 1694. To the banns are added in some instances, Donne billet pour se marier a l'Eglise Anglois." In the generality of cases the date when the actual marriage took place is added. This quarto register is not indexed. X. 1. Banns Banns of L'Hôpital, 18 July, 1688, to 15 Jan., 1692-3. 2. Banns and marriages, Th. St. 2 Feb., 1692-3, to 18 Sept., 1715. These two registers of different sized small quarto are bound up together. Many of the entries have no statement of when and where the marriage took place. These registers are not indexed. XI. Marriages and banns, 18 Nov., 1694, to 1 Jan., 1748. Also some entries of 1753. The leaves of this register are loose, and it is probable that some of the earlier ones are D 1 missing. not indexed. This register in octavo form is to XII. Marriages and banns, 19 Mar., 1706-7, XIII. Marriages and banns, 17 June, 1716, to 1791. N.B. It would appear from the above registers that the baptisms at the chief London church are complete from 1599 to 1645. That there 1S a gap from 1645 to 1698, and that they are complete again from 1698 to 1840 in the registers deposited at Somerset House. That the marriages and banns are pretty complete from 1599 to 1753, though, unless the banns of the members of the Threadneedle Street church were published at L'Hôpital, it would appear that there is a gap from 1694 to 1706. Marriages do not appear to have been celebrated in the foreign churches after 1753 until about thirty years ago, when they were resumed. 18. Burn, p. 164. Hoxton Chapel. Dissolved.
