Source: Bexley Births and Baptisms 1813-1925

This collection includes parish registers containing baptism records for the years 1813–1925 from parishes in the current administrative area of the London Borough of Bexley, England.

Both the British government and the church had an interest in record keeping, and a 1538 act of Parliament required ministers in the Church of England to record baptisms, marriages, and burials. This database includes records beginning in 1813, when George Rose’s Act called for preprinted forms to be used for separate baptism, marriage, and burial registers as a way of standardizing records.
