Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Hammersmith was a hamlet of the parish of Fulham, until a separate parish was created in 1834 (4 and 5 William IV, c.75). By an order of the Poor Law Commissioners on 12 Jan 1837 it became a parish of the Kensington Union. It was united again with the parish of Fulham, as Fulham Union, from 26 March 1845-25 Mar 1899. The records listed here date from all four periods in its history; individual items may cover two or more periods.

The church of Saint Paul, Hammersmith, was first established as a chapel within the parish of Fulham in 1631. It became an independent parish from 1834. The current church on Queen Caroline Street was constructed in 1882. As the population in the area grew, it became necessary to make the parish of Saint Paul smaller as other churches were constructed and assigned separate parishes.
