Records not on the IGI around Holborn

[Woodpecker]

I have a family with at least 9 children possibly more, I have found baptisms for 6 of them, 5 at St Andrew’s, Holborn and one at St Dunstan in the West, there are 2 missing in the 1780’s and one about 1796. The missing ones are not on the IGI so I’ll need to search individual registers but I don’t want to waste time searching through registers that are on the IGI, how can I find out which churches are on the IGI and does anyone have any good suggestions as to which churches close to Holborn I should start with?

If you google IGI Batch numbers, then go to the site for Batch numbers in British Isles and North America, you can follow the links to find which registers are covered in each town.

I'm afraid there's a misapprehension about the IGI there. A register may nominally be "on the IGI" but there is no guarantee that all entries in the stated period are included.

The best up to date listings of which London/Middlesex are parishes available online are produced as .pdf files by the West Surrey FHS. These cover not just the IGI, but other online resources such as Findmypast/Docklands Ancestors and Ancestry (but note that the listings for Ancestry are not yet complete).

I'm afraid Parloc is not too helpful for London -- especially the City of London -- as the parishes are far too close together for the results to be meaningful.

A very big thank you to everyone who has replied, I'll get googling, the wsfhs site looks interesting.
