Ooh, thanks for that, Elizabeth! I checked first thing this morning and there was nothing new, but they must have sneaked them on after that!

Oh dear, I'm having trouble with them at the moment - error messages when I try to view an image, and some baptisms which are listed on FamilySearch as taking place at St James Westminster in the period supposedly covered don't seem to be on there at all. It could be that FamilySearch is wrong especially as they don't have exact dates, just a year, so maybe taken from an index of some sort.

I haven't found anything at all yet. I'm going to have to trawl through the families and make a list of people to look up.
I looked up one marriage in 1855 and they don't seem to go that far.

There is a list of parishes and dates covered so far:

I'm not doing very well with mine, but it seems they will be adding to what's online over the next few months:
"This exciting launch sees the first release of the parish records in findmypast.co.uk's Westminster Collection. The remaining parish records will go live in the coming months, along with cemetery registers, wills, rate books, settlement examinations, workhouse admission and discharge books, bastardy, orphan and apprentice records, charity documents, and militia and watch records." The extras look interesting.

Having followed families in the rates books, I really want to see that collection to find out where George Lanning went after 11 November 1851: http://utc.iath.virginia.edu/proslav/prfiesa28t.html

I'm sure the list of churches and dates covered has been changed since I first looked at it! I noted down some of the churches that I thought appeared somewhere or other in my tree so I could look at them first, and I've written down "St Geo Chapel Mayfair 1735-1754 only", but that one isn't in the list now. St Margaret Westminster is another one that I wrote down but has now disappeared

Hmm, their news item says, "More than 50 Westminster churches are included in the records published today, including St Anne, Soho, St Clement Danes, St George Hanover Square, St James Westminster, St Margaret Westminster, St Martin-in-the-Fields, St Mary-le-Strand and St Paul Covent Garden."
But when you look at the PDF of coverage, there are only about 20 different churches listed.

I've actually found one marriage and the image of the register. It's for St Clement Danes in 1776.
It didn't give me any additional information, though.
