Other than a few Christening records on Ancestry and familysearch, I have been unable to find any records for Saint Vincents Scottish Church, Stepney, Middlesex, England.
My interest is Alexander and Jean Mann, children:
Abraham Mann C:13 Sept 1756; Saint Vincent Street Scotch Church, Stepney, London, England
William Mann C: 4 Aug. 1758; Saint Vincent Street Scotch Church, Stepney, London, England
Alexander Mann C: 17 May 1762; Saint Vincent Street Scotch Church, Stepney, London, England
Then we go to what I believe is the next generation:
Alexander (1762) and wife Jean, children:
Alexander Cabbell Mann: C: 29 Sept 1783;Saint Vincent Street Scotch Church, Stepney, London, England
Elizabeth Mann:C: 6 Sept 1785; Saint Vincent Street Scotch Church, Stepney, London, England
Mary Ann Mann: C: 22 May 1788, Saint Vincent Street Scotch Church, Stepney, London, England
Alexander Cabbell Mann is my ancestor and I have all the information for his wife, Caroline and all five children.
There are parish records for St. Dunstans and All Saints but none for Saint Vincent Street.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This was Presbyterian not Church of England. Best to reserve the word "parish" for the established church.
I've had a rummage around but the only reference I can find for registers is at The National Archives; RG4/4324
"LONDON: Stepney, St Vincent Street, Mile End Old Town, formerly Broad Street, St George's in the East (Scotch Church): Births & Baptisms" 1741-1824
These registers should be online in their entirety at BMDRegisters.
I can't spot anything later. Sorry. Perhaps someone else knows the history of the place.
Don't forget that marriages for that sort of period would have to be in a Church of England church.

Have you tried Scotland for the marriage?

A possible work-around - many people born in the later 18th century lived long enough to qualify for death certificates, which might provide some information.
I've had a lot of luck this way.

Thanks for all the help. Pippycat, I agree with all your information and believe that the Alexander Mann buried in 1795 is the Alexander Mann who is the father of Elizabeth (Bap:1785) as on her baptism he is called Captain Alexander Mann. Peter: I found their baptisms through ancestry but there was no marriages for either Alexander and Jean there or in family search in Scotland. I will do more searching but believe the Alexander bap in 1762 is the father of the last three children with the 20 years gap. I'll definitely be on the lookout for marriage records before saying that is true. Lesley: Where would I look for death certificates, I have seen parish records for burials and some for deaths in the 18th century but no death certificates. Thanks again.

There's a sticky at the top of the General Scottish forum about Scotlands People and other sources.
And remember that Jean and Jane are often used for the same person.

Mann in London and Scotland
Tks. I've tried Scotland's People before, find them expensive so I think I'll leave these guys for awhile.
