The best help I have found for tracing 19th century Londoners is Ancestry where they have the London Metropolitan Archives baptism, marriage and burial records plus quite a lot of London workhouse records. You can view the actual images of the parish registers and they were a treasure trove for me when I was looking for my Londoners because they often give you additional information about the family like dates of birth, addresses, occupations and, for marriage records, the names of witnesses which can sometimes help in breaking down brickwalls.
