My great grand parents married in the parish Church of St John The Baptist Hoxton in 1865 and the certificate states this was in the Shoreditch registration district.

Thanks for that Judith,this has helped me narrow it down. Ive got them living in Bethnal Green but born Shoreditch so if its close to these I may have right family xx

Hi, Hoxton is now in Hackney, but was originally Shoreditch/Hackney Marshes - my dad was born there in 1928, and my grandad in 1900!!! Trudy
