[tessie31082]

Hi, I know nothing of boundaries etc or where places are!! Has Wandsworth or Islington ever been in Middlesex or Surrey? What about Fulham would the reg district be wandworth/islington? Thanks

[Carolyn P]

Wandsworth definitely used to be in Surrey and I think Islington was in Middlesex.

Wandsworth is Surrey
Islington is Middlesex

Fulham is one of those complex ones as the boundary changed. See this note from free BMD.

Fulham Registration District

It is nowhere near Islington but from memory it is fairly near Wandsworth. I think now it comes under the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Wandsworth is south of the River Thames, the others are north of the river.

Correct that Fulham is listed under Kensington, though many transcriptions keep stating kennington just to try and confuse things

Fulham and Wandsworth are connected by Wandsworth bridge. If you look at my avitar photo, im on the Fulham side looking over at Wandsworth......Islington is north london.

Fulham comes under Hammersmith & Fulham not Kensington & Chelsea.

You can see where they are in relation to eachother on google maps.

London is the City of London and before the spread of Greater London, the surrounding area north of the Thames was Middlesex and south of the Thames was Surrey.
