Lovelocks in the City of London



Records transcribed and compiled by Robert Sterry, except where indicated

In 1889 the Administrative County of London was formed from the City of London, and parts of Middlesex, Kent and Surrey and was divided into boroughs. In 1963 this County was replaced by Greater London which also took in the rest of Middlesex and parts of Essex and Hertfordshire as well as some county boroughs. New London boroughs were then formed.

The "historic" City of London refers to the pre-1889 boundaries. It is bounded on the south by the river (Thames), to the east by the famous Tower of London, on the west by the Fleet River (now underneath Farringdon Road), and to the north by the City wall. There were gates out of the city leading to other settlements, like 'Bishopsgate' and 'Aldgate'.

Parishes from elsewhere in the Greater London area are in the Middlesex, Kent, or Surrey pages as appropriate.

Parishes searched without finding any Lovelocks:
