We are proud to bring you the Westminster Collection in association with City of Westminster Archives Centre. The Westminster Collection is a unique set of records which documents the history of the City of Westminster and its people. The records provide an essential resource for local and family historians. Westminster is located within central London; it encompasses much of the West End and is bordered to the south by the River Thames.

Parish registers are a vital source for tracing your family history. The practice of recording baptisms, banns, marriages and burials in the Anglican Church was introduced by Thomas Cromwell in 1538.

Below we have provided parish lists for the following records in order to assist with your family history research:

Each list give you every parish name and the years available; however, gaps may appear in the records within the year range provided
